Pros

As a mutual, one of benefits is that the organization can stay insulated from market factors or financial induced mishaps. Thus folks that would be held accountable at a publicly traded organization are given a pass.

Cons

Leadership team has not been transparent with existing remote employees workforce (~40%) that career mobility is not possible for either a promotion or lateral move unless you are willing to be hybrid and relocate to Boston or Springfield area. Thus anyone not local is stagnant in their careers.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
