Vantaggi
Fun environment, great job. I honestly enjoyed my job and working for LogMeIn. They take the time to make these fantastic workplaces, with lots of amenities, like free drinks, team lunches, and lots of lounge areas. All offices are nice, but the downtown Boston office is the real jewel. (I didn't work in that office.) At LogMeIn, I met coworkers who ended up being real friends. There was great opportunity for travel and you will have co-workers from all over the world. Huge kick-off events in tropical locations for each department. Working with a technology that works and is needed is a great feeling. I always had everything I needed, computers, new desk - you name it. The company is not afraid to spend money on its employees. Fast paced, youthful environment.
Svantaggi
When they decide to restructure, it's all about head count. They will not think twice of laying people off even if they produce quality work and have outstanding reviews. (I saw this happen first hand.) From what I could see there were a lot of shifting in the Marketing and Sales departments. Though travel was a fantastic benefit, be prepared to pay for it. They don't issue credit cards for anyone who isn't high level, so when you travel, you pay up front and they reimburse you - and they take their sweet time doing so. (Minimum 1 month) At one point the company owed me $1200, and others who traveled a lot were owed $6k-$10k. Now, don't get me wrong, it all gets paid back, but they take their time, which means you are paying interest on it if it's on your credit card. So, they are basically using your line of credit. They take their sweet time paying vendor bills too. They don't mind effectively destroying vendor relationships by paying bills late. Anything to make that quarter look better! Some departments have a more "toxic" environment than others. The accounting department is definitely once such department.
