Pros

Great work life balance and freedom to engage and take initiative as much as you desire. It is great place to engage and expand your work experience.

Cons

No out-of-state (Texas) remote work options. Prior to the pandemic, working remote was frowned upon and HR insisted the staff work in Taylor, TX which is a long and expensive commute from Austin. There is nothing great about working in Taylor other than parking availability. HR isn't friendly about promoting within. If you get another job within the company, don't expect a pay increase. It is better the leave the company and come back at a higher salary which isn't logical. Overall, the company is great but isn't very flexible and not keeping up with modern work practices for us in the younger workforce. The pay is average, not great compared to modern tech companies and there are no bonuses or equity due to the not for profit nature.

Pros

The 401K matching is stellar. 75 cents on the dollar for the first 12% and then 10% of salary kicked in on top.

Cons

Seniority ways heavily on promotions. A candidate can be better than other applicant with long service time and still lose out. Some Directors can block their employees from taking positions in other departments by declaring them critical.

Pros

The employees are good hard working employees.

Cons

The leadership is managed by the members of the PUC, who are appointed by the Governor. This is very policial in nature and the management team can not really manage. They spend all the time looking over thier shoulder. Audit and fear rule the company.
