Pros

This is the place to be if you like being at the beginning of a tech revolution. Compensation for my job is quite generous and most other employers won't even attempt to match it.

Cons

If you like personal space you won't get it here. Management insists on bringing more people on board and then pretends like the offices defy the laws of space like the TARDIS. If you want to be promoted I'd recommend looking elsewhere. If there's a choice to promote someone or hire from outside, 90% of the time it is always the latter decision. Management also doesn't feel that taking on more responsibility and stress merits a pay rise either. Upper management over the past year has done very well insulating itself from upward feedback. Employee surveys are conducted but results are spun in a fashion that'd make the best politicians jealous.

Thanks for your honest feedback. Since we have grown so big so fast, it's hard to find the space to put people sometimes. Depending on your location, we are looking to address that with new buildings. In Austin, the new building being built can't get here quick enough, while the Cambridge office is also looking to expand some as well. Feedback from surveys are being listened to, and we are taking strides to address them quicker, with the revamp of the TAP and AFDS. So instead of doing a big course correction once a year, we're looking to do more frequent checkins to quickly adjust in short bursts. -Rick C. Social Recruiting Manager

Pros

Great people, but we've lost a lot of them.

Cons

Management ignoring the attrition problem. Promotion really depends on the project/your line manager and often seems to be not quite fair. The company has lost its great culture

Pros

Benefits package, holidays, days of care, flexible work hours

Cons

Dramatically reducing benefits package (some reductions were also done by fixed cash sums rather than percentages, meaning executives would barely feel the pinch, but graduates for example would lose out on 10% of their salary), direction of company is lost, Rene haas is unlikable
