Pros

This review is of the Austin / Round Rock office. -Great peers and colleagues -Excellent work-life balance -Smart and creative engineers -Solid 401k match and excellent bonus -Great place to wear a lot of hats and learn a lot

Cons

-Previous generations criticize, look down upon, and hold back younger workers -Unsupportive culture for promotion -New leadership in Austin office focused on positivity, but has created a fearful and anxious culture -Mid-level and senior management is skilled at managing people in higher roles, but many managers are not fit to lead teams that report to them -The most supportive people and leaders within the organization rarely get promoted -Management picks their favorites and if you're not one of them, your career will stall -They emphasize how important supporting their people are, but have poor healthcare coverage -Corporate oversight damages morale

Pros

Opportunity to learn a lot if you are a workaholic

Cons

Slow to make changes. Too many layers of sales and management employees. Spends too much money on travel expenses and too little money on employee appreciation. For so many long-term employees, it’s amazing how little they really know about the company’s business operations and basic business practices.

Pros

The Serial Access (Network Power) division had potential and was located in the heart of silicon valley.

Cons

Leadership does not have the vision nor the "Technology" expertise that would put this (Network Power) division on a path to success.
