Pros
Laptops and wireless for everyone makes sharing ideas so fun and easy! The employees are super cool. The dress code is non-existent. Vacation is non-accrual. The kitchen is awesome - almost gourmet level, and the wide selection of drinks are free. The clients are mostly higher ed, and that gives one a sense of purpose and value.
Cons
Vista bought this company and fired the entire executive team immediately, installing their own people. The CEO is insincere and narcissistic. His temper is volatile. Working for him frightened and embarrassed me. Employees are leaving at an alarming rate, and so much knowledge has walked out the door that I’m afraid for PA. The benefits are an insult to any IT professional in Austin. Make sure your partner can provide you with insurance because you won't want what they offer here. WFH used to be optional and this was a family friendly place. Not anymore. You must be in your chair in the office 5 days a week for at least 8 hours a day. I always had to work weekends as well. Yes, every weekend. And I usually worked before and after office hours as well. Before Vista, this was one of the coolest places to work in Austin. But now, I would not recommend it to anyone. Someone else said it was a work hard play hard mentality. Yes those words are often said, but there is no play time - except for all the goodbye lunches for departing employees!
