Pros

Work-life balance. Coworkers were generally supportive.

Cons

Extreme micro-management from supervisor that made work very unpleasant and highly stressful. No career path. Many people kept in the same roles for many years.

Management is Awful

Pros

pretty decent benefits and pay is not to bad depending on what you do there. There are a lot of extremely intelligent people who work there. Some really great people.

Cons

They do not care about their employees anymore. I worked for them for many years. Although some of the Human Resources are great like on the recruiting side many of the rest leave a lot to be desired. One in particular loves to try and bully people and intimidate them so they will say something inappropriate or something that will get them terminated.. Many of the mangers in Austin have their heads up their butts and micromanage. They all have a daddy issue with the new CFW Sam and are running around trying to please him. They let good people leave the company for no real good reason. IT management is the worst. They play games with peoples lives and expect you to sit there and take it. I had finally had enough and had to leave due to management. I just could not work there anymore and I really enjoyed my job and the people.
