Pros
It is a great first and third job. It's great to start your career here for a few years because their training is good, the company is stable, initial pay is good, and the brand is well-known in Austin. It's a great third job because it's stable and they usually don't lay people off. Casual work environment, but this really depends on your manager. Deck parties are awesome.
Cons
- The pay increase does not keep up with inflation and there is little vertical room for growth - There are a lot of office politics within the company, you need to be able to "navigate the organization" rather than focus on your work - Some teams do what's best for themselves rather than do what's best for the company in terms of budget, accountability, and teamwork - Some employees do not get recognized for their work - their senior counterparts will receive the credit despite efforts to change this - This is an engineering company. Therefore, most of the investment goes into the engineering organization while the marketing department isn't treated as well. They are expected to consistently outperform their goals while their budget consistently shrinks.
