Pluspunten
- Beautiful campus, the grounds are sprawling and really well maintained - Plenty of employee parking with a reverse commute if you live in Boston or on the north side of rt. 95 - Middle management is as conscientious as it gets. - Benefits such as health insurance, 401k match, etc. are unquestionably superior - Competency is explicitly recognized and rewarded - Most of your colleagues are very smart and hardworking. - Unique core business model that isn’t going anywhere.
Minpunten
- Work/life balance is terrible where comp. is just slightly above market, if at all. - Lack of flexibility, exemplified by PTO pushback, expectations of ready availability away from the office, stringent WFH policy, etc. To be fair this may depend more on who your manager is, but flexibility is absolutely the exception and not the norm. - Upper management decisions affecting employees company-wide are made with great deal of implied lordship and lack transparency, which can leave you frustrated and scratching your head more often than not. - Nauseatingly large compensation at the highest levels. While not necessarily bad at face-value, this becomes much less palatable given how scarce adequate personnel resources are. - The exceedingly flat title structure diluting any sense of formal hierarchy can lead to unnecessary confusion and/or lapses in communication during busy periods. - Limited room for career growth and/or upward mobility. - Very cult-y culture that can sometimes feel bizarre or unnatural.
