Absolutely terrible place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

There were no pros at this job.

Cons

I worked at the Tewksbury office for 3 months, and after 2 months I was absolutely miserable. When I was hired they just sat me down and never talked to me ever again. My manager was on a completely different team and was unbothered by me. My team leads never gave me any tasks. I sat there are stared at the wall for 3 months. Other new employees tried to facilitate meetings with the senior engineers, and they would often no-show our meetings. My best decision was leaving this place. Since I left, 10 others have left as well. There was zero social aspect, no tasks, no professional development. Terrible.

Organization’s Interpretation of Diversity Results in Discrimination

Principal systems engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

job stability, ethical leadership, some colleagues are extremely competent, interesting products, great place to be if you are considered to be a diverse employee.

Cons

To meet diversity goals too many incompetents are put into leadership positions, Promotions seem to be mostly based upon whether you are “diverse”. Leaders are chosen based on who has their hand up, waving that they want to be a leader rather than leaders being chosen based upon exhibited behaviors in the workplace. Difficult to implement improvements to processes. Not the best place to be if you’re an aging white male who still wants to grow his career. I’ve never encountered so much incompetence in positions of authority.
