Terrible culture

Anonymous employee

Pros

Nice building, some good people working there. You can leave work most of the days before 6pm.

Cons

The culture is terrible. The CEOs has no clue on how to run a business, and keep pretending he is the smartest and knows everything. Treat people terribly, has no empathy. Decision making are so slow, because the guy in charge does not know anything.

Used to be good … not anymore

Sr. associate

Pros

Not much anymore. Used to be a good IT organization in the company. As a business they stick to the academic principles the company is founded on.

Cons

Directionless IT organization. The IT mgmt is pretty haphazard. Many instances of knee jerk reaction by IT mgmt. People are leaving left and right. IT is at least 5 years behind in terms of technology and processes. IT folks have low morale. Lot of lip service is given to concerns raised by employees but nothing is actually done.

No room for free thought

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay for the area (Austin). Intelligent people. Good cafeteria. Great work/life balance in most departments. Work here if you want mundane relatively easy work. Not much thought or innovation going on, so it is easy to get complacent.

Cons

Poor leadership. Not a meritocracy. Very easy for people to put on a facade and pretend to help while prioritizing their own interests. Not quite as bad as wall street, but some people are trying. Hiring intelligent people to do menial tasks and then hiring externally rather than promoting from within -- not a good recipe for success.
