Pros

Pay is very competitive, work times are flexible, people are very friendly in general, very diverse and welcoming of all backgrounds and orientations, great for pre-retirement.

Cons

Slow moving, traditional, consensus-based leadership, not good if looking for cutting edge tech, confusing hierarchy and reporting structures.

Pros

Hybrid which is nice, for what the job entails pay is ok I suppose at 60k. Every Wednesday there's food for employees.

Cons

Earlier in the year the frisco office was closed down, so many employees including myself who add living arrangements now have to travel 3 days a week to the downtown office. Which is 45 minutes + with traffic. On top of that the shift times suck as someone who appreciates work life balance. 7 am to 7 pm. I would also say that there are many organizational changes and career growth seems limited.
