Good salaries, great benefits, great people, excellent legacy product set. Outstanding training programs, six sigma culture, once resource and expertise rich.

Milked legacy products. Overlooked customer changing needs. Minimal new development or innovation. Missed its window of opportunity. Currently a high risk work environment in terms of retaining remaining jobs. Many lay-offs with more possible.

Pros

The flexible time is really nice (Core hours are 10 to 3 Monday thru Thursday), Nice 2 person offices, Decent pay: (Close to the Average), Fun and challenging projects.

Cons

Generally, cannot work from home (sometimes with Managers permission). While pay is average, for most employees, it is low for the higher performers. Due to the nature of our work, there may be long stretches of "bug fixing" which can reduce the morale.

Was a great place to work before the Textron buyout.

Business Outlook

Pros

Money's good if you can get a security clearance. Austin is a nice place to live. Still a few seasoned pros around you can learn from.

Cons

Constantly changing direction at the whim of Army program management. No job security at all (60 % of Austin employees have been laid off in the last couple of years). They want to be a software service company for the government rather than product developers.
