Pros

-Casual office attire (jeans) -Small company - less than 50 employees -Good health insurance benefits -Able to work from home if necessary -In Austin

Cons

-Project teams and tech teams are understaffed, overworked, and underpaid. -Salaries across the board are at least 15k below industry standards. High turnover--many people left the company for higher paying positions Management is spotty at best--managers are personal friends with some staff so bias may be an issue. Project managers frequently leave early (at 3pm to play golf), take personal calls (for several hours during the work day), and often behave unprofessionally with both the project team and clients.

Pros

People are great. Flexibility in managing my schedule. Encouraged to work with others or in groups to do "the right thing". Great place if you are good at working freely to meet deadlines (not so good if you need a list laid out for you). Every idea is considered - easy to make change in process or products if you want to. You feel like you have helped someone every day - good feeling.

Cons

Run like a start-up company, which means not a lot of hand-holding or direction. You jump in and learn a lot with support of your team. Most work is team based, so you get a lot of direction at level. Sometimes there are long hours - especially when you are first learning or if there is a deadline
