Pros

The people were really friendly. I was able to take time off whenever I needed to to take care of personal business.

Cons

The pay was low out of the box and stayed there. One of my coworkers had worked there for over 13 years and was making only a few thousand more than when he started. Engineers with 7 years experience were making significantly less than their counterparts in other places in Austin. As a technician there was not a path to become an Engineer, even if you had since received a B.S.
