Pros

- good, central location - core business model seems reasonable - stocked snack kitchen - frequent company-sponsored meals

Cons

- abusive / disrespectful behavior tolerated at all levels - out of control egos - top-down (non-collaborative) decision-making - video surveillance used as a tool to shame employees - little to no respect for employee privacy - unfocused / undisciplined business strategy Employee attrition rate is extremely high for these reasons.

Dead end job with abusive management

Pros

Free food in the kitchen. Being fairly close to campus, the location was very desirable. Misery loves company, so good relationships are established at the lower positions.

Cons

Verbally abusive culture coming from top and mid-level management. This is not the trendy Austin start-up culture you are looking for! Management is greedy, pompous, petty and untrustworthy. It's a business space running on ego, tempers and self-consciousness.

Just a job, not a career

Pros

- Innovative and continually changing industry - Cool office location near campus

Cons

- Toxic culture - Verbal abuse - High turnover I was at MicroVentures for two years and hoped it be a company I'd grow my career with for the long-term. Toxic culture - lack of communication, mistrust, minimal investment in learning and development, unclear expectations. The verbal abuse by management is concerning. I was cursed at regularly - i.e. told to shut up, belittled especially in front of others. In my last year 14 people quit or were let go. The egos of leadership is unprofessional and immature. Management doesn't know how to operate a company and is evidenced by the culture and reoccurring turnover.
