Pros

- The ability to grow your experience handling different areas of practice (project management, architectural solutions, service support, etc.) - casual dress code - Willing to pay for additional training and certification - Positive culture. I can't express this enough. I have some great coworkers that over complicate my job. There are client project struggles, as in any place, but the people here keep it positive are motivated to do great things. - I've seen posts from previous employees that give a negative outlook. In my short time here, I've seen it's easy to be negative when you have an axe to grind. Truth is the managers are good people, they provide support and feedback. This is a boutique practice, so it's not a place you can come in, hide in the corner and just get by while you cash a check. You're expected to contribute. It took me a while to find my rhythm, but they were supportive through the process and the managers welcome initiative and creative input.

Cons

- Like any small practice, they have to stay competitive with salary, especially when larger companies have the resources to pay more. It looks like they do their best to be competitive.

Pros

This company(Motiv/SFCG) is way more than a company to work for, it is a community. I have never worked with people as professional AND CARING as here at Motiv. The job is at times difficult but people are always will to help. Their management style is amazing. They encourage growth from the moment you are hired and its not just words. Motiv does what they say they will and they genuinely care about the environment at work. There's a happy puppy around all the time, profit sharing, 4 weeks vacation, great work-life balance, and good pay. I mean every word here; THIS is the best company I have ever worked for and I honestly do not think there is another place that could beat it.

Cons

If you are motivated and want to learn there are none. IF you do not want to work or if you want to gossip then you might find some cons.

Pros

The people The culture The leadership The profit sharing In Austin and the surrounding area, startups are almost literally a dime a dozen. I have worked for many of them as both a full time employee and a contractor. Because of my skill set I often worked directly with CXOs advising on business processes and departmental change...meaning...I have seen it all. I've seen really REALLY bad CXOs, I've seen terrible decisions being made against all advice and reason, I've even seen a series of awful choices bankrupt a company and most often I've seen great employees leave toxic work environments because they just couldn't take it anymore. I don't see any of those things at SFCG. My position is very similar now, in that I work with EVERYONE in the company. I work directly with front-line and client facing employees as well as the CXO level and everyone here works together. SFCG holds employee happiness in high regard and has continually worked toward smarter processes across business units. Also, profit sharing. Very few companies of this size even bother. A lot of companies even promise and fail to pay. SFCG promises and pays. When the company profits, they profit as a team. I don't know that I've ever seen a better corporate culture for employees who are willing to give it their all and work hard. Since some recent reviews have complained about this...I should mention pay. Yes, SFCG pays less than most international technology giants. That's just the way it goes in smaller companies. I've made more in my career and I've made less. Salary is certainly not low, it's more than I need to live well on in one of the most expensive cities in the country. If I valued ONLY my paycheck I could easily get a role paying more in an environment where I have no voice or input and I'm micromanaged by a series of invisible managers......for me, it was an easy choice to make. P.S. virtually no waiting time on paid benefits...from a small company...COME ON!

Cons

Our ping-pong table recently broke. Tragic.
