Business Outlook

Pros

None actually. Anyone seeking a job here can also get a better ( more relevent, better paying and better prospects) job in other places.

Cons

They hire people from IITs and give them substandard pay and make them do tech support jobs. They hire with false promises and false hope. Once you enter the company in a tech support role, you're screwed! There are a lot of low level politics that happen in the company. Growth is near zero.

Good Company to work for in the long run

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good management team; Sufficient down time; Stable company with not a lot of layoffs lingering; Pretty good product to contribute to; Very good benefits and >50% 401k match a 100% of the time; Eventual growth. All in all, this is a great company to work for, if you plan to stay for at least 5-6 years, not a company that can grant instant gratification.

Cons

Pace to market is very slow compared to industry standards, since the product is still primarily a desktop product. Updates cannot be pushed at a brisk pace; Pay might be substandard for the first couple of years given that the Boston suburbs are pretty damn expensive; Behind the curve on industry standard in web services development; Products are not as diverse as one would expect them to be, however that trend seems to be changing fast; Changing teams not as easy as it should be.
