Pros

You have a lot of flexibility and autonomy.

Cons

The tools you are given are quite sub par which means you spend most of your time looking for your own resources. Generally experience no human contact with colleagues unless you go out of your way to build a team. To put simply, highly unmotivating job.

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.
