Pros

Overall, very nice people. The screening of new hires works pretty good. Some "bad apples" among the executive cadre destroys the cart though. Casual dress code (as it should be in Austin).

Cons

Almost no new development efforts. The SW stack is ridiculously outdated, and not very interesting if you are are a SW Developer who wants to be on the leading edge, and get some valuable experience to put on your resume. Unless you are going for a career in bug fixing. The climate has changed in the last 12 months. It used to be that speaking up and giving constructive ideas for improvement was encouraged, but now it is viewed as "whining". I cannot pin point what has changed, but it feels like there is a "take it or leave it" attitude among the top brass now. And people keep quiet, heads down, and mind their own business. A real waste of all the talent here. Based on how many people that seem to be unhappy, you wonder if HR is writing all the 5-star reviews here.

Pros

Lots of potential across their portfolio. Standard benefits. OK work/life balance (if you're remote). Very interested in creating a culture of improvement - but not necessarily innovation like you'd expect at a software company (See Cons).

Cons

Parent company is way too involved and tries to run this software company like a hardware company (which is most of their portfolio). Aging tech and design of their product portfolio. There was a very toxic political culture when I was there, but that may have changed. Lots of brain drain over the past few years of their most experience leaders and software engineers. No equity (except for some "high potential" hires and some VPs and above... which creates rifts between the haves, the have nots and management - it's common that a high demand new hire gets equity like AI engineers and data scientists, but their manager does not have equity and has to be able to answer questions about their equity as part of their comp.
