Pros

Great location, great pay, some really talented and friendly people on the ground. Free food, wonderful opportunity to learn or grow one's business-savvy. The leadership team does a stellar job educating employees around finances and how enterprise-level decisions are made.

Cons

Teams are quite territorial, and cross-team collaboration can be very difficult. The company doesn't seem to have concrete plans for where they want to go: the long-term roadmap is very muddy. The company's product strategy seems to change regularly, and the marketing strategy is non-existent. There's also a strong cult of personality/Kool Aid thing happening here. If you don't want to spend your free time with your coworkers, playing games and drinking and goofing off, you're deemed a poor culture fit, and woe to anyone who wants to be successful here if that happens. The result is the company skews young and inexperienced, as older, more established people aren't super interested in all the "fun and foosball" of the Austin tech startup scene.

Pros

Unlimited PTO. Free Snacks/Lunches everyday. Beautiful open office space. Amazing leadership. Heart of downtown. Flexible work/life balance. Most importantly, the amazing people and culture. Paid healthcare/benefits.

Cons

There are not too many bad things to say about this company. The only thing I can say as a con is that a few people take advantage of the relaxed company policy and walk around barefoot.
