Pros

Best work culture, great work life balance. The overall salary looks less as compared to some other giants in the Boston area but we get quarterly performance bonus which makes up for it. The bonus is quite sizable. The company is a billion-dollar software company with a startup culture so you get best of both worlds.

Cons

Work can get monotonous after a while. Not much avenues to explore specially for a software engineer.

Pros

You get to work on end to end things and not a chunk of big project as it happens in case of most of the MNCs

Cons

Bad work culture and benefits. No flexibility at all wrt work timings. Which is a must in the companies looking for overseas collaboration. There is no time for yourself because of these policies. No emphasis on work life balance. Even worse management counts if you spend less than 9 hours in office on a particular day but doesn't count extra hours you put in for overseas collaboration every day. Cafe sucks. Overall not that great a place to work.

Nano-managed company kills any motivation to think

Business Outlook

Pros

Company structure is well suited for the US market, optimized sales force and processes Life is indeed relatively good as long as you're in Natick

Cons

One fit's all mentality, what works in the US works everywhere Litterally every decision has to be escalated to management, no room for own ideas. These are either killed or sold as the manager's ideas. Focus on "improvements" is technically harassing people for any error that happened. Only people without any initiatives can flourish here! 1984 style observation and mistrust from above. No work from home for individual contributors, only for managers.
