+ Supportive environment that helps you develop professionally and personally. + Competitive salaries and quarterly bonuses. + Coworkers are fun, bright, pleasant, professional and genuinely enjoy their work. This all makes for a great work environment! + Practically everyone gets a 10' x 10' office with a door - very nice.

Cons

+ Location in Natick is difficult to get to by public transportation; you really need a car. + Limited work from home and flex schedule options.

Great company, smart people, growing fast.

Business Outlook

Pros

Wednesday breakfasts, Friday cookies, team outings, company outings, bright coworkers, opportunities to learn, casual culture, 6 month release cycle.

Cons

The company is growing rapidly. Because of this, many projects/problems overlap across teams and I have seen competition between teams to solve problems rather than cooperation amongst them. The only other (minor) negative is location.
