Pros

They really did hire some crazy smart, fun people at the Austin office (this is the reason so many of us stuck around until the layoffs for sure)

Cons

The Nebraska leadership folks are a mess. The CEO and the other "I've been here for 7+ years so that means I qualify as an executive" do not have the experience to continue running this company. Plain and Simple. I've never worked somewhere where I saw so many people crying in the bathrooms or hallways on a weekly basis. No one had the tools to do their jobs well or smart. There is no tech here except for what the dot com team built (in 4 months)- everything else is done manually through excel. The company mantra of working long hours "we are already working when other companies are just turning their lights on" mentality was ridiculous and I am thankful Austin leadership ignored this. It was a weird trip to work somewhere like this and I can honestly say getting laid off was my happiest day there.
