Pros

-Fun location in Davis Square. -Catered lunch once a week and snacks -Beer Fridays -Mostly nice people -Good work life balance

Cons

This place needs HR. Gossip runs rampant and the leadership team particpates. The president spouts his politics and religious beliefs to employees. They rarely pay out annual bonuses they promise when you're hired, even if the company has done well. They create a hostile work environment for employees they decide they want to leave but don't want to fire. Leadership claims to be transparent with employees but they don’t communicate decisions that affect employees until they are called out on it. There is no direction or strategy. No one at the top can explain why the company is better than other agencies or what their business plan is. They don't promote people. Despite what the recent review says, there are not opportunities for innovating or learning. The work is boring and stale. They don't have the latest technology to test websites on. There is 1 iPad and it's locked up. In the couple years I was there, there was 100% turnover. There are way too many better places to work with more talented people doing way cooler projects for better pay.

Pros

The folks at OHO are super kind and talented. Agencies are, by nature, stressful environments, but leadership does a great job of keeping things in perspective, not getting emotional, and keeping projects moving forward.

Cons

For a developer, the work can be pretty similar from project to project. Pressures from the clients often lead to consecutive parts of the project being run in parallel, which ends up taking longer and yields a worse outcome.

Pros

Remote work. Nice coworkers who care.

Cons

Leadership is non existent. The brunt of the work falls on the lowest status people and in spite of this being a small company, they view you as a number and not a person. HR recently did a "how to combat burnout" presentation, as if we are expected to internalize our burnout as a moral failing and not the system we have been thrust into. We had several people leave the company recently due to layoffs, firings, and quittings, and they haven't been replaced. We are literally under staffed and they're just piling work up on the sorry folks who say "yes". I'm biding my time...
