Pros

The day to day co-workers are great. Plenty of talented people and the technology really is on the cutting edge. Like any start ups there are downsides but casual atmosphere and talented people are definitely pros. The company has offices in 2 countries and both are well located. Day to day isn't bad and sometimes even really fun. One of the co-founders is available to both teams regularly , believes in his product and knows what he is doing.

Cons

Management team does not really know what they are doing and they don't know how to lead people. This could be because they are in their first roles as vp's and higher, but that's not a really good excuse. Some have very limited real world skills as well which is just odd and surprising. In short they are not start up types even though they think they are. The turnover rate is also quite high. Sometimes there is a lot of micro management and sometimes there is absolutely no management. If you believe a good portion of your career is determined by the know how of your executive team then this place isn't for you.

Pros

-Great co-workers -Great location in Boston’s Innovation District -Flexible when it comes to working from home due to weather/illness -Product is well received and makes selling a lot easier than other products in the field -The training we received was from a world class organization and stands to improve everyone's skillset in their respective fields. -Tons of upward movement opportunity available.

Cons

-Like any start up, there is a lot of room for process improvement and optimization. -Expected work day for the sales team is 8:30am-6pm most days. -Some employees in the past, had their differences with management which was frustrating to hear on a daily basis but part of working out kinks is weeding out employees that don't add a positive influence the team.
