Good company. Could easily be even better.

Pros

Great work/life balance. Fun culture. Nice facility. Pay was okay.

Cons

Location. The headquarters is in a suburb of Boston. Hard to get cabs, and not a lot to do in Newton, MA. Too many temps. They have 100+ temp employees who seem like a subculture in the company. Also, they are all hired through PSG who doesn't seem to treat them fairly. Salary is mediocre at best for anyone who is not in sales or an engineer. Facilities and Admin have a "good ole boy" mentality that is opposite of the rest of the company. The country music they play at reception seems out of place at a travel/tech company.

The Communications department is a mess

Pros

- Well known brand - Good employee perks, e.g. $250 yearly personal travel stipend

Cons

- Leadership is not focused on coaching, developing career paths, or skill building - Environment can be stressful - Everyone does administrative work - "all hands on deck" - Coordinating over global time zones is difficult and often it takes days/weeks to receive an answer to a simple request - Projects require several levels of red tape, approvals, edits. The "Speed Wins" mentality does not ring true here - PR department has suffered a retention problem - 5 employees resigned in 12 months
