Pros

Diverse environment. Good reflection of the Austin population.

Cons

I have seen a lot of comments from people that say this is a good place to start your career. I do NOT agree. After a little bit than 2 years here I realize that I have fell behind my friends at other companies SO much. Not only have their pay increased much faster (and I started lower than them), but more importantly they have learned so much more. This is a HORRIBLE place to start out! I really feel stupid, because I did not see this in time. The technology here is from the 90's, and there is really no one to learn from. We are all newbies. The few experienced people that get in, get out as fast as they came here. I realize now that they saw something that I did not - until now.

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.
