Company Description
Pubget is located in the Boston seaport in a contemporary open space. We're a small team (less than 20 people) with startup culture but big company salary and benefits. We offer a flexible work environment, catered meals and the latest tech. Most importantly you'll get the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the pace of life science discoveries.
Company Activities:
We do random stuff. We're conveniently located next to Luckies and the seaport so happy hour is never too far away. We've been on team outings ranging from paintball to a spice-off at Hell Night at East Coast Grill.
Oh, our latest office toy? Quad-copter!
