Pros

This review is of the Austin / Round Rock office. -Great peers and colleagues -Excellent work-life balance -Smart and creative engineers -Solid 401k match and excellent bonus -Great place to wear a lot of hats and learn a lot

Cons

-Previous generations criticize, look down upon, and hold back younger workers -Unsupportive culture for promotion -New leadership in Austin office focused on positivity, but has created a fearful and anxious culture -Mid-level and senior management is skilled at managing people in higher roles, but many managers are not fit to lead teams that report to them -The most supportive people and leaders within the organization rarely get promoted -Management picks their favorites and if you're not one of them, your career will stall -They emphasize how important supporting their people are, but have poor healthcare coverage -Corporate oversight damages morale
