Business Outlook

Pros

Great Salary, company making money and constantly expanding. Awesome place to take your career. Benefits amazing (for a US standpoint, but poor if you're from Europe or Australia/NZ).

Cons

Austin manager runs a very boring workplace. If you work in Transportation in Austin you'll be fine, but don't take a position in Land Dev or another industry there. Company loses a lot of workers due to a non-engaged workforce thinking they are driven by money/numbers rather than a fun place to work.
