Pros

For those working in Boston (The down town crossing location) Work is easy and you have plenty of time free to explore Boston during the work day. The job can be done in a few hours each day, giving you time to check out the ladies tanning in Boston common and public garden or go shopping. Despite construction, there is still a Macys, borders, H & M, CD store, and discount shops. It is also easy to get to via the T or commuter rail, no matter where you live.

Cons

The pay is horrible and you are very limited with what you can do

Pros

Remote work is (rarely) an option, though the approval process is extremely slow and bureaucratic. There are a few well-meaning colleagues who genuinely try to drive positive change before burning out.

Cons

Onboarding and HR processes are severely broken, taking 11 months to approve remote status and failing to prepare basic equipment for day one. The workplace culture is deeply hostile, with anger and yelling functioning as the default communication style across teams. Leadership turnover is rampant, resulting in constant re-organizations, splintered teams, and a total lack of strategic direction. Role clarity is non-existent, forcing employees to invent their own daily tasks while receiving entirely contradictory instructions. Direct management is completely absent; I went seven months without any contact from my boss before being laid off via a three-word instant message and short call.
