Pros

- You can work in independent and autonomous teams - Flat structure, no middle managers - Great people, talented team - Cultural diversity - Low bureaucracy, much like a startup - Great tech - microservices, Spring Boot, continuous delivery, extensive automated testing (there are 0 QA people, but 100+ engineers)

Cons

- Some legacy code in the monolithic application (Groovy & Grails) - A lot of in-house infrastructure (servers, database hardware etc) - Very high expectations on you so the job can get a bit stressful :)

Pros

Good PTO, and friendly Wisers.

Cons

Management is totally micromanagement, and the People team does not advocate for employees; they appear present only in name. If I were in Kristo’s position, I would conduct a thorough top-to-bottom review of the entire HR department of U.S., and replace all of them. If over 70% of the Austin team would never recommend this workplace, it is a significant warning sign that needs to be addressed.
