Pros

Recognized, growing brand name Nice office location Decent perks and benefits Lots of overtime to pick up cash

Cons

Very high turnover because high stress and high quotas makes it not worth the lower than industry pay to work here Repetitive work with zero career advancement Poor training with ridiculously high quotas Lots of mandatory overtime and often they will tell you that you need to work later right before you clock out for the day Inexperienced and insecure management team who leads by micromanaging & manage by fear Managers are very quick to react and write up employees. You will be written up for everything because the policies are very strict like being 1 minute late or missing your quota by 1. Rules, policies, & workload being changed constantly to treat Austin employees like 2nd class citizens. You could end up with all the complex, lengthy work but your quota remains the same. And since you will not hit your quota, you will be written up. Austin managers are glorified overpaid processors with no authority to manage people since Glendale managers don't want to give up control Glendale managers constantly fly out to Austin with excuse such as training, ‘checking to see how things are’, and even sends non-managers too. They stay in nice places like Aloft or Westin, and dine at 5 star places like Perry's and Uchi. But when Austin employees get a chance to go to LA which is very rare, we stay in 1 star motels with very small food budget and gets scrutinized even when we buy an appetizer for $5.

Work life balance is actually great. The people you work with are smart and generally fun to work with

Cons

Roadmap is very disorganized, you kind of have to assume you will work on any random project each day

Pros

Allows remote for the time being

Cons

AI everywhere. It seems like a return to office mandate is right around the corner (no longer allowing new remote employees). Code quality doesn't seem important anymore, only how much you can get done with AI.
