Pros

the people are fun to be around. the teams are small enough to be very agile. the office spaces are OK for a company of fewer than 100

Cons

too many things at once, cannot focus on execution to the best of our abilities, people are very relaxed and friendly but don't work extremely hard - for a place heralded as the valley on the east coast (Boston), don't see many Google-type engineers

Pros

Great people to work with, fantastic and encouraging management team wanting to hear your ideas, and ability to try/fail/try/succeed.

Cons

They are no longer open. They could not compete with the other search engines. Hope the teams are still succeeding at being awesome.
