      Good Company - but not good enough to keep you from constantly looking around.

      Pros

      Decent pay for SC. Great people to work with. Good work life balance (no after hours work required). Gym on site. Ability to work from home.

      Cons

      Merit raises are minimal at best - 1-3% for outstanding work. Not all positions have level progression - leaving you to either look for new positions to see more than merit increases in salary. Those who are not good at their jobs remain - seems impossible to get fired. (This could be seen as a pro.) Very little in the way of culture.

      Pros

      I can't recommend anything about working here.

      Cons

      Most managers can't do the work their people do.The management staff makes decisions that place incredible burdens on staff. They trivialize the work of their employees, and then get all pissy when those employees quit and the managers themselves have to do the work in the crazy, fractured environment they've created. What a bunch of whiners. If you want to be blamed for organizational failures, go to work here. Layoff occurred in early 2015, company is not making money.

      Pros

      Ability to work reomotely/telecommute Generous PTO Decent medical benefits

      Cons

      This company is bloated with upper/middle management and the ranks of individual contributors are slowly shrinking, especially in the Austin office which is only at about 50% capacity. The people who are left are expected to pick up the slack and work extra hours since hiring quality candidates take so long. Annual performance reviews and increases are not merit based and paltry at best. Almost everyone good has walked out the door in the two years since they acquired Convio.
