Pros

As an employee, you are made to feel special; as if you are apart of a elite fraternity. I became extremely close with my colleagues, and I still consider many of them to be my best friends.

Cons

As a working professional, I was unaware that I would be surrounded by 21 yr olds that were only hired because their alumni statuses from an Ivy League university, not their ability to perform the actual functions of the job. This office has approximately 6 African Americans out of 280 employees; amounting to 2% of Austin employees. Do not feel comfortable with this percentage; African Americans are systematically weeded out. This is a percentage on a good day.

Pros

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Cons

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pros

People at the peer level are great and you learn about some interesting industries

Cons

This is the worst place I have ever worked. Management does not care about you. They put on a front, but push and push and ask for more no matter how hard you work. You can be a top performer, but if you leave on time to go home they're not happy. It's never enough and the work never ends. It's just not worth it.
