Pros

Good benefits, lots of great & hard working people

Cons

Poor management decisions over the last couple of years have lead to a disastrous atmosphere and even more mess & regression in many areas. Management does not listen to anyone, pushes the blame down to the staff yet fails to recognise the root cause - to many bad strategic decisions, incompetent project management and neglecting employee feedback.

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.
