Pros

- People were great, super nice and friendly - The initial training was great - Work-life balance was good

Cons

TLDR at the end... The biggest con of this place is the absolutely horrendous pay. It is so far below the average it's insulting. The only reason to take the job is just for the experience, but once you get one or two years of experience you should absolutely leave. I cannot stress how poor the pay is here for the work you're doing and value you're providing. After I interviewed they offered me UNDER $50,000....as a software developer. Absolutely ridiculous to be completely honest, it clearly shows that the company doesn't value you. For context, just two years after leaving I doubled my income and am at over $100,000 salary in Houston. You have incredible value elsewhere, this company does not care for you. The only reason I took this job was because I just desperately needed the experience, but once I got it I left the first chance I got. Frankly speaking, if you work here you will be poor. If you're a college student in the area right now, you know how terrible the company's reputation is. You're told to avoid the company at all costs at career fairs and the like, and for good reason. I imagine there's people at the company with probably decades of experience earning less than I am right now with just a bit over 3 years of experience. It's honestly very sad and they truly deserve the poor reputation they've built up. Also, cherry on top is that the previous CEO was a billionaire who broke the record for the *largest tax fraud in American history*. Let that sink in...the guy was a billionaire, with a 'B'. He had all of the funds imaginable to better the pay at his company and improve its reputation. But not only did he basically severely under pay his own employees and give them really bad pay, he stole from all of America lol. TLDR: The pay is really bad. I cannot express how underpaid you are over here as a software developer. If you are absolutely desperate, take the job and leave as soon as you get a year's experience or so. The company might be better otherwise but as it stands, it's a total joke because of its compensation.

Pros

Free lunch, the other technical writers are nice to work with. Company benefits have improved in recent years.

Cons

Incompetent DOC Management will drive even the nicest writers away from the company. If you work as a technical writer, you will be underpaid, overworked, and micromanaged. The people in the DOC department are treated differently from others in the company solely because of DOC management rules. For example, supervisors will go through your desk and drawers each week as part of cube inspections, and there are strict rules about what you can and can't have in or on your desks. Because other departments do not do this, the DOC department looks much more sad and gray than the rest of the company. Your badge tracks you at all times throughout the building. If you go to an area of the building that you don't work in, there are good odds management will ask you about that. Management does not care about the tech writers. It's turned even the nicest and most positive people negative towards the department. There are nearly zero writers who have been there longer than 1 year that are positive towards the department. Turnover in the department is crazy. Someone leaves on average every 2 months, so nearly the entire department is different in just 2 or 3 years. Even though the cafeteria is free, the food can be hit or miss.
