Pros

Everyone I've worked with directly, including my manager are all wonderful coworkers and care about their jobs Good PTO policy

Cons

Don't expect to get a raise or a promotion, even if you do great work. Everyone gets the same rating in their performance review (average) so that bonuses and raises won't be awarded. Managers aren't even allowed input on the ratings of their direct reports. Bonuses can be slashed without cause on the day they are awarded. The RTO process has been handled incredibly poorly. The layoffs this summer were handled even more poorly - why announce 6 months before they actually happen? It just doesn't seem like the upper management has any regard for the employees that actually make the company money.

Pros

Great pay and opportunity for advancement if you can get on the right projects that will succeed. For the most part I have the tech I need to do my job and my coworkers are really smart capable people who I learn from every day. I feel challenged in my work and that makes me feel engaged and interested in the problems I solve daily. Flexible vacation time and great benefits.

Cons

It can be incredibly chaotic at times, bordering on toxic. People are on edge and passing blame around like a hot potato. Hierarchy, power plays, and territorial politics create land mines for the unsuspecting on any given project— depending on your team or organization you’ll need to tread lightly to survive. They only hire in Austin right now, so any open roles seem to take a long time to fill, but the work still piles on.
