They used to be great to work for, truly.
Pros
If you live on the NW side of Houston, it's in a decent location, and the office is well-appointed and nice. Free coffee, sodas, sparkling waters and lunch are all nice perks.
Cons
Since the company was purchased (and in the run-up to that), management is less and less connected with line employees, and is beginning to make decisions that do not put the employees first, instead choosing to treat people as replaceable commodities--hate to tell you, cPanel, but Perl developers and good QA people are *not* easy to get, and can easily find work someplace more sane, where their expertise is respected and compensated. Additionally, if you want promotions, it helps to be straight, cisgender, white, and male. Otherwise, count on working many times as hard as your peers for even less recognition. Like all growing companies, the stories they tell about who they are must change with the growth--it's a natural thing. But the older story about an upstart, family-friendly company where management gives a damn about the staff is no longer true, so don't believe it when you hear it. The new story looks much more like a conventional tech sweatshop, even though they're still *telling* the older tale.
