Pros

1. Work-life balance, 2. Less pressure to deliveries, very well structured development plans. 3. Good 401K/medical benefits, if you require a visa or GC this is the ideal place to stay. They will file one immediately. 4. Lots of volunteer organizations and activities. 5. Good work culture and nice people around. 6. Nice mix of demographics and employees from different parts of the world. 7. The company makes profit every year and so the job is secure unless you do anything stupid.

Cons

1. Very low salary. They always stress the fact that the location is a millions of miles away from Boston to make you believe a low salary is good enough, but Natick is very very costly. Don't fall into the trap. 2. Huge technical debt and things move very slow. 3. It's sometimes difficult to understand what's going on as it's still under process to decide which methodologies to follow and which technology to stay with. 4. Don't expect a quarterly bonus in the first year. It's either a zero paycheck or very minimal. 5. Join only if you do not have any other job. Good for a first job to learn software engineering and maybe the last job before you retire.

Pros

Competitive compensation. Private company with >$1B in revenue. Profit sharing that has paid out for decades. Challenging Work. Great colleagues, intelligent, educated, driven. Diverse culture. Flexible dress code (i.e. silicon valley casual). World-class products. The opportunity to help accelerate the pace of engineering and science.

Cons

Wolf of Wall Street-like fervor and passion (but not misguided ) so I sometimes wonder if I am in a cult.
