Pros

Casual work environment with relaxed dress code. On site cafeteria.

Cons

The pay is way below average. New grads should not be fooled by all the hype centering around the casual work environment. Although this is true, the low salaries and lack of raises are also very true. If you truly feel you are the best and brightest, you should go elsewhere. It's easy to get promoted and take on more responsibility, but pay increases barely keep up with rising cost of living in Austin if they even occur. Also, the annual bonus is a joke...it doesn't even cover half of a monthly mortgage/rent payment.

Smart and supportive co-workers who are willing to help and share knowledge. Exposure to full product development cycle. Generally positive company culture.

Career advancement can be slow, with limited opportunities for promotion or lateral movement in some orgs. Compensation growth tends to fall behind. Several org changes following Emerson acquisition.
