Where the Best Get Better

Anonymous employee
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Great people to work with Always challenging to do and be better Advancement opportunities abound Great benefits and willing to accommodate where necessary for ADA compliance Company provides a laptop for work that you can take with you and work remotely as needed Good work / life balance culture Great mentorship with leaders

Cons

While there are opportunities for advancement, it does take some time to prove yourself and demonstrate an appropriate fit with the internal team. Annual reviews do not guarantee any sort of cost of living adjustment over time - pay increases are strictly merit and position based. Too much focus on diversity for the sake of diversity, as opposed to hiring / promoting the best person for the job regardless of superficial qualities.

A lot of potential...but falls short

Customer support specialist

Business Outlook

Pros

Company definitely embraces their culture, and there's nothing wrong with that at all, if you fit into that culture. The culture is very friendly and easy going, typical geek culture for techies and geeks alike. When I worked there, meals were provided daily, social engagement amongst employees was encouraged, work was very straight forward and getting time off for family emergencies or events was pretty easy to do. Lots of really friendly and knowledgeable people there, and management is always open for comments/suggestions.

Cons

This being a relatively small company, and HQ in Austin, the San Antonio office was very lacking in room to grow. In this sense specifically, if you're wanting to move up the tech support ladder, it's a good place to be. If you want to get your foot in the door at a tech company and move into another, more specialized department, forget it unless you want to move to Austin. Additionally, annual reviews for opportunistic raises/promotions are almost non-existent and personal favoritism from management plays a bigger role than job performance. Good place to get started, not a great place to stay long term (unless you want to move to Austin). Pay could be better, but the work environment is very chill, so if you don't care as much about money/success/progression you would likely enjoy your time here.
