- The company has grown massively over the years and has lost most of it's "start-up" environment. Post HEB acquisition, many outside leaders were hired. The company tries to encourage the old start up culture, however the new hires are much older, more experienced and come from more corporate backgrounds. The new Favor hires, along with a shared office with HEB tech employees has led to mostly a corporate environment.
- The amount of work volume is very high, and most roles are extremely demanding. The company pays at "market rate", however, the demand and expectations are much higher than those with similar titles else where - AKA the stress makes the compensation very much mediocre. The company continues to receive and address feedback about low pay but has never taken any action.
- In addition to an increasingly corporate environment and disheartening compensation, the company is internally infamous for lacking in promotions. If you're looking at a role in support, do not expect to move out of support - it's nearly impossible.
- The company very obviously plays favorites. It's very clear that you must be in the "cool clique" to get treated fairly.
- Parking is horrendous.
Overall: Great place to work if you're looking for employment in a tech environment in Austin. Not the place to coast on an easy-going role with fair pay. If you're looking to gain experience and climb the corporate ladder, please do not waste your time even looking at positions with Favor.
