Pros

[This feedback does not apply to HomeVantage Mortgage] Revenue is increasing quickly. Plan for future products is strong and viable. Compensation can be competitive, but this depends on how much the hiring manager likes you. Good leadership opportunities.

Cons

Company seems unable to attract and retain employees, for instance about half of the product team left in 6 months. Important positions (head of marketing, head of tech) left unfilled for months at a time. The number of employees isn't matching the growth of the business. Several times during my tenure some toxic individuals lashed out at me, resulting in direct reports of those individuals apologizing for their boss's behavior, or saying things like "Are you okay? I can't believe they said that." Despite upper management acknowledging the toxicity, and saying how people treated me was due to my age and maybe race, change was slow. Finally, like some of the other reviews have mentioned, some of the positive reviews were probably encouraged by the Austin Capital Bank itself to boost its rating. As an employee, I was asked to rate our own product on Google to boost our rating. In retrospect, I do not think this is ethical and is not the mark of a good company.

Pros

If you're a good ol' Texas resident soaked in "traditional" values and Tesla stock then you'll probably get along with these people

Cons

All of my other reviews were deleted because I was so honest, but my largest regret was signing an NDA, so I couldn't go after them when my employment ended. The founder sets people up to fail, and the rest of the exec team just does whatever he says to keep their jobs.
