      Bad Place to start your career with

      Pros

      Friends. Work life balance as they claim but you can have same flexibility in lot of other companies in Austin

      Cons

      Salary, they hire lot of students straight out of college paying them 20-30% less than what they can get in other companies. Biased managers : employees are rated not by their performance at work but by the number of parties you attend with your team and managers. In many teams in IT your managers wont assign you any work until you ask for it, but they rate you based on nothing during yearly review.

      Too much politics

      Product marketing manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very friendly environment, manager wants to see you succeed and great facilities. You get to choose your own path and work on things that are most interesting to you.

      Cons

      There has been a lack of clear direction for some time now. Pay is well below market average and it feels like the officers are willing to tell us whatever they think we want to hear.

      Good resume builder for new graduates

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      good work/life balance, young culture, excellent job security Great place to work if you are ok having a "comfortable" salary and care only about work/life balance and job security (aka not career-driven) lots of experience/responsibility quickly, so you build lots of good experience in a short time frame; great for resume builder fun/friendly employee culture

      Cons

      below average salary and benefits; raises/bonuses are typically very small (<inflation) if given at all. excessive mid-level management, many of whom are unqualified and inexperienced lots of corporate kool-aid and lip service; constantly under going some new initiative or lofty goal that quickly fizzles away and is forgotten - it gets tiring trying to keep up with it all in middle of rough transition from small, start-up style company to major corporation; growing pains upper level management always talking about record quarters, record sales, record orders; yet when it comes time for raises/bonuses "times are tough, but we will focus and next year it will be better"
