Pros

The novelty that its Blizzard. Clean, functional Gym in facility and nice bathrooms. Decent workspace and breakroom.

Cons

Company culture has shattered. A lot of outside influence in management with little to no understanding of company culture or even their own products. A lot of inappropriate behavior and unprofessional boundaries crossed by staff and management. Most management grandfathered into their position with no real skill. Little to no advancement opportunity int he company as they would have you believe--they hire mostly from outside. HR is an incompetent disaster and they recycle through HR reps every 30 to 60 days with exception of their manager. Has fraudulently filed misconduct in employee files and lost several battles with EEOC and TWC over this. "Managers" spend more time off than being actually inside the building. No one upholds their tenant "Lead Responsibly." Quality in the company's products have been slipping. Call centers have unrealistic requirements for tier advancement. Other specialized departments such as HR and Events will steal ideas for projects and programs. A tremendous amount of irresponsibility among the "leaders" int his company. An enormous disconnect between Irvine and Austin and an even worse one between corporate and their customer service teams.

Pros

Atmosphere, Benefits, Team Building and Night Outs with multi-national colleagues

Cons

Seems to evolve to a standard call center, creativity and common sense not needed as everything is metrics driven with focus on efficiency. Standardisation instead of going the extra mile. Might be frustrating but is fine if you just want to do your work without thinking too much.
