Pros

-Unlimited FTO -Generous paid parental leave (12 weeks) -Great insurance policy -Great company culture + diversity initiatives -Generally good sense of teamwork and awesome folks working there

Cons

-It really matters who your manager is in terms of work/life balance and whether you can use your FTO often -Often work late due to high priority projects and overseas customers -Rolled back remote work for all employees hired during the pandemic, so now at most 2 days WFH -Not much opportunity for career growth or raises

Pros

Strong place to start your career. If you do the Fusion Program you will learn a lot. Good training and benefits. Amazing Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Coworkers are smart and grounded people.

Cons

Stingy with salary, raises, and promotions. The engineer roles are broken up into Jr and Senior so the title progression goes Engineer I, I Sr, II, II Sr, etc which slows career progression and pay. Only the CA office gets extra pay due to the expense of living there, even if the MA office is expensive.
