Pros

Company is located in a popular and convenient area of Boston. Freedom to come in late and leave early, since management doesn't check/care.

Cons

Heavy workload for anyone who's not in upper management. Poor communication and leadership, and lacking in organization. Very high turnover rate, but management seems to be oblivious to people leaving.

Pros

They train you very well. I came in with no formal relevant experience and very little informal experience, and they trained me in all the coding skills I needed. They're a very flexible work environment. I arrive when I feel like it between 9 and 10 and leave about 8 hours after that. I sometimes work from home. As long as you get your work done, they don't really care how you get it done. Scott seems like a good CEO. Apparently people didn't like the previous guy. But Scott's cool. Very, very smart, sharp.

Cons

Bosses are a bit distant. Because they give me the distance and flexibility needed to get my job done, I sometimes feel like my boss doesn't really see my work, so I worry about future references. But I guess it'll get better if I spend more time there? Let's see how it plays out.
