Pros

Good 401k, Medical and Vacation Benefits. Lots of vacations to maintain a healthy balance.

Cons

While the overall company has a good culture, Austin site doesn't have the culture what Sweden has. Even though projects have long durations teams struggle to get things done on time, and then politics starts with blame games. Very bad tools and infrastructure. Every other day you will login and not be able to work as infra would be hung or super slow. Its more of a bootlicking culture where people who are close to leads get all the career growth. Teams are technically poor with no understanding of underlying technology, its just blind execution. There is neither depth nor breadth in the work, its about writing some tests, no real development work is there in Austin. All the technical interesting work stays in Sweden. Line management is pretty much useless with no technical skills and no drive to improve things. They just write some politically correct emails. Anyone who is good leaves the place in 6months to about a 1-1.5 years time frame at max. In short no learning and growth, if you want to kill your career sure come here.
