Pros
They hire a good diverse group of people to work there. Most of the Austin employees have come from many different parts of the country and different companies so being able to learn and collaborate with them is a good perk. Easy interview process
Cons
Total bait and switch: during the interview process they tell you things you want to hear so you sign. Many people in my on-boarding group didn't sign right away because of concerns they had (which we should have listened to our gut the first time and not taken the job) and when talking with the hiring managers and recruiters they say everything you want to hear to make it sound great and get you to sign. -Promised flexibility in work hours during your interview process but once you start there is no flexibility. People would make comments if you left at 4/4:30 even if you were finished with work. Expect to work crazy long hours. people arrive before 8 and leave late, and that is normal and expected. We were told that we are expected to work during holidays, long hours, and work during "unlimited PTO". The comment "we are an e-commerce company and we never take days off" was said far too often during the day. Even if your job wasn't website crucial. -Company culture is more like a cult than anything. They are so used to hiring recent grads who will drink the "kool-aide" the first day. -Unlimited PTO is a joke. Told by upper management that we were not allowed to take more than 5 days in a row of PTO. Also when you take PTO you still had to check emails. -Job descriptions don't match what you actually do there. Job descriptions seem great, even when you ask questions about the day to day in your interview it sounds great, but what I did compared to my actual job description didn't match at all. After multiple meetings with management about the frustration with my current situation nothing changed. Comments were made from managers about conversations I had personally with them to other coworkers. -CEO has said "You are replaceable and if you don't like it you can leave" in meetings to on boarding groups. He expects your job to be your one and only priority in life. He has no plan on changing the culture to fit the Austin working culture and this trickles down to the rest of management. Management doesn't respect you and treats you like you are not important. -Lack of constancy with everything there. One manager will tell you one thing and another manager will tell you something else. No one knows who to believe so you always feel wrong.
