Excellent benefits, some very interesting colleagues, multi-national business allows you to meet people from all over the world, and travel to far flung corners of the world. Current CEO is very willing to change things.

Too hierarchical,HR team is very weak; Senior managers afraid to tell the CEO the truth and also afraid to go along with his ideas for change.

Pros

Some good people and good location around Boston area.

Cons

Cabot did not feel like an employee-focused company during my time there. I observed multiple layoffs, including employees who had been hired only a few months earlier. The work environment was often very stressful, with heavy workloads and frequent organizational changes. Communication across different management layers was sometimes inconsistent, leading to mixed messages and unclear priorities. Before accepting a position, I would encourage candidates to carefully evaluate the role, team, and long-term stability of the organization. Significant changes can occur quickly, and it's important to understand the potential impact on work-life balance and career plans.
