      Pros

      Base pay is higher than industry average. Great Austin office with free soft drinks.

      Cons

      You pay for that higher salary. The culture is one of finger pointing and CYA. Toxic with a high turn over rate.

      The IT department needs a makeover

      Pros

      Wonderful facility, good compensation. Great for financial types.

      Cons

      This company can't keep IT staff. The turnover rate in IT is beyond bad. The infrastructure team has about 30 positions and over 50% of them have quit in the past 12 months. Any project IT tries to do is over complicated and the individual contributors can't do their job because management makes all the decisions. Usually very poor ones at that. There are many things wrong with the IT department. Here's just a few: 1. Poor leadership 2. Too many managers 3. Wrong organizational structure 4. Low moral 5. Poor vision 6. Poor planning
