Pros

Great work-life balance if you can avoid the chaos. - Some talented colleagues who are genuinely passionate about their work. - Good benefits and compensation.

Cons

- The leadership team is a disaster. The worst part is one individual who has an extremely toxic, narcissistic approach to management. They constantly undermine others, take credit for work that isn’t theirs, and create an environment where employees are constantly walking on eggshells. - Communication from leadership is non-existent or misleading, and there’s no accountability for poor decisions or behavior. - High turnover, as people get fed up and leave in frustration. - Lack of career growth opportunities; if you’re not part of the inner circle, you’re invisible. - Extremely poor morale—many employees are unhappy but feel powerless to speak up.

Pros

You get monthly payouts depending on if you reach your goals as a branch . You get paid holidays . Plenty of sick time . Love my coworkers.

Cons

If you don’t live in Austin , it’s hard to move to a different department or position . There are only two locations outside of Austin . One in League City and the other in Galveston.

Pros

The benefits are decent. They believe you should have work/life balance

Cons

They are a vendor based company. They don’t trust the engineers that they hired. They say are doing agile but really not. Middle management is not good with keeping their word. They don’t use the math required to predicting how long a feature takes. You just get a deadline. Middle management is not qualified for their positions. They got good recommendation. They have their favorites and people who gets special treatment. The Infrastructure is stuck in 1998. They are going to have some awards for best place for parents. Don’t believe it. It is a grift.
