Pros

Company is big enough to give people global opportunities, and small enough where you have a chance to make a real difference. We have good people who are exceptional at what they do. Strong values throughout the company.

Cons

Focus can be too much on Boston. Work can be a bit siloed at times. Not sure how well we work across businesses and functions.

Pros

Some good people and good location around Boston area.

Cons

Cabot did not feel like an employee-focused company during my time there. I observed multiple layoffs, including employees who had been hired only a few months earlier. The work environment was often very stressful, with heavy workloads and frequent organizational changes. Communication across different management layers was sometimes inconsistent, leading to mixed messages and unclear priorities. Before accepting a position, I would encourage candidates to carefully evaluate the role, team, and long-term stability of the organization. Significant changes can occur quickly, and it's important to understand the potential impact on work-life balance and career plans.
