      Pros

      There are no pros in a company where the rule "survival of the fittest" applies to the janitor as well.

      Cons

      1. "secret society" management style - you know nothing and the management knows everything 2. Unbearably competitive work environment..you compete against your boss 3. If anyone has anything against you..you will be thrown out of the company for no reason other than "low performance".

      Pros

      Opportunity to work with extremely bright and driven colleagues. Strong emphasis on technology and data-driven decision-making. Competitive compensation packages and great office perks in the Austin tech hub.

      Cons

      The workload can be intense with high expectations for delivery. The proprietary nature of the work means using many in-house tools rather than industry-standard open source. Can feel siloed depending on which specific project or team you are assigned to.
