Pros

Good benefits (mostly). Typical tech office space for Austin in a good location. Mostly good coworkers that are friendly enough for a workplace environment. If you work hard, you can advance, as ShipStation is growing quickly and they used to make it easy to move up or to other departments to help you grow your career. Management is very understanding of the need for personal time and are accommodating of emergencies. But be prepared if you take PTO that most of your work will not be covered and there when you get back.

Cons

Pay is lower than most Austin tech companies for all departments. There is little to no communication from upper management on where the product is going or big changes that are happening. The communication between departments is terrible and you are frowned upon for asking for information if you are not in those departments. Most coworkers get along professionally, but you can tell there are a lot of cliques in the office and you can see how those people are favored by mid/senior management. HR is nonexistent and the one person in charge of this rarely has answers readily available. Be prepared to wonder and to not know where to go to for answers. Also be prepared to hear sexist remarks from all over.

Pros

Colleagues are great to work with, free drinks, snacks, occasional lunches.

Cons

Salary is not aligned with workload, employees are severely taken advantage of! It is almost impossible to receive a pay raise and they currently have some very unprofessional policies, along with no HR Dept. The career growth is a joke, although they claim to make it a priority to see their employees advance! The execs do not seem to understand what employees do on a day to day basis. The current CEO seems most excited and engaged after someone is fired or leaves. Too many great employees overlooked and who continue to feel unappreciated for their hard work.

Pros

Office food maybe? Cool office but no one is ever there. Somewhat flexible vacation policy.

Cons

The sales role here isn't sales or account management, it's teaching people who have barely used a computer how to find basic functions and sometimes even where their browser is in the valiant quest to print a label. Occasionally you'll speak with a competent business owner or someone who doesn't try to curse you out and it'll be like a cool drink of water in a dusty sea of people you're in awe of functioning day-to-day, much less having started a business. The company leadership is in it for maximizing as much money as they can for themselves and running amok in the boys club, the engineering and development teams are focused on pet projects and can't be bothered to focus on things that would help the end users, support and QA are forever underwater, sales management are mostly fools with big smiles who are there to talk behind employee's backs to their friends who have been there longer. There is zero opportunity for advancement in any role. Stamps.com is also a dumpster fire, but that's another story. There's some good people who still work here but they're frustrated, few, and also looking to find another role somewhere else. Pay is utterly underwhelming for the industry and you can expect extremely small cost of living raises and nothing else.
