Pros

Some of the people at Extraprise were people focused The Extraprise Connect monthly meeting - run by the employees not management - was fun The Boston office is in a great location if you take T or live in Boston Some senior managers are very good

Cons

The President of the Extraprise (who works 10 miles away) made one appearance in our company in one year - and left a very negative impression during this visit Stock was promised to everyone and given to no one We lost our 401K match and bonus program Massive turnover at Extraprise Extraprise model is to squeeze employees - when employees leave positions are not filled Lots of broken promises

It is hard not to notice negative things said about your company, and, yes, those things are hurtful. But, Glassdoor is nothing more or less than a single data point in a sea of information about companies. It does provide an anonymous voice to unhappy people, and those anonymous voices obviously need to be taken with the proverbial “grain of salt.” Three other equally potent data points you might consider are that, in the last 18 months, six people who had left the company have returned, the management team has stayed intact, losing only two people in the last five years, and we’ve survived two of the worst economic downturns experienced in our lifetimes and have come back to thrive. Three other things – we do have a 401k program (with no match), we do pay bonuses (just not automatic ones), and we do have season tickets to the Red Sox and Bruins that are used almost exclusively by the employees. I’m sure everyone who knows Extraprise can find both positive and negative things to say about the company. Frankly, that includes me. Rather than vent, we discuss them, debate them, and, if valid, try to adjust. We are building disruptive technology and services that will significantly change our industry. We are chasing the dream of building an impactful company for our clients that rewards its people financially and with invaluable experience. If you think you have the intellect, passion, and capability to contribute, find out about Extraprise yourself and draw your own conclusions. We are looking for excellent people, not anonymously critical ones. Although, we do listen to them, as well. - Michael L. Shanker

Pros

Collaborative team environment (mostly). Some really great people to learn from. Excellent HR department. Bagel Fridays. Quarterly company meeting with beer and food. When you feel like you are frustrated and have been in the office for 10h with no time to even have lunch at least you can walk around the office and find a few more people who share the misery. If you are a 'thick skin' and have no work ethics you can get away with doing half the work - just keep making up wordy believable excuses why work is delayed and someone else will end up getting it done.

Cons

Production line mindset, little space for creativity, definitely not people focused. The more effort and diligence you put the more it is taken for granted. Big on words when it comes to opportunities for professional development but not much else. If you actually like doing your job well you'll have to get used to seeing your 'thick skinned' colleagues pulling half of their weight - good luck maintaing positive attitude for a long time. Project management...won't even go there. Receiving recognition from management is much less likely than having them pass by you as if you are a wall. Employees are often kept in the dark about important decisions and even projects they would be responsible for.
