Pros

I didn't think it was possible to work somewhere where EVERYONE was lovely, but I've truly found it. You can ask ten thousand questions and that's ok! Get a lot of free lunches, very good food too. When it's your birthday they order you tiff's treats (cookies!). Incredible managers who will help anyway they can, and a company culture that is so positive. Interviewed at a couple different places in Austin and this was by far the best.

Cons

Wish it was located downtown, but that's my fault for not choosing to live close to my job.

Pros

Kitchen with free food and snacks, C-level who want a well run company, Friday company meetings where all departments come together.

Cons

Company is growing too fast. Not enough competent sales managers. C-level knows what management tells them but not what really goes on.

Pros

Some people could be great to work with. Health insurance wasn't awful.

Cons

This company doesn't even try to hide the fact that it prefers cheap labor over quality labor. You'll meet someone, work with for four months, and then they'll be replaced by someone in India who won't last longer than six months (because this company is so cheap that it can't even pay a living wage in India). They've laid off whole departments on a whim, with no plans on how to make up for lost revenue or support. Pass over any opportunities from them unless you're desperate.
