The products and engineering office in Kendall Square is simply amazing and the best place I've ever had the joy to work. Quiet and focused during the day. Standing desks available if you like. Most have earbuds in throughout the day. Leaders are on the phone all day but generally take calls in private so as not to disturb the rest. There are several meeting rooms for small or large groups with beautiful views of the Charles and Boston. Of course there are all the free snacks and cold and hot beverages of you could want. Eng. and others tend to walk to somewhere local to pickup lunch and come back to eat together. After business hours some like to get together for drinks in nearby East Cambridge. When the weather is nice you may find others playing a round or two of Spikeball or some other fun activity. Once a week we do a lunch & learn with topics from sailing to quantum physics to making (and tasting!) hummus. All are smart, driven, nice and a pleasure to work with.
