Pros
*The culture is real, and the leaders really believe in it and care about how employees are treated *After a few recent departures and additions, the senior leadership team is very strong *If leadership acts in ways that run counter to the culture, you can call them on it *It's a mission-driven business - most of us truly believe in the mission and really care about the customer *I work with several teams, and they're full of smart people I genuinely enjoy seeing every weekday - it's the best job I've ever had *Benefits are great (other than low 401k matching); PTO is very flexible as long as you're productive; and salary equity is steadily improving *If you prove yourself through performance, there are opportunities to move up and into other roles *The business is achieving great results - the next few years look really bright
Cons
*Performance standards can be inconsistent, and it sometimes takes awhile for low performers to be held accountable. This seems to be improving, and the overall performance level is high. *There's still an issue of uneven culture - some teams aren't integrated with the company culture as well as other teams, and the company's big enough (about 300 people) that there will be people you never really meet. *The business is complex, and it's tough for many employees to see the full picture unless they have access to more strategic conversations. *Pay is uneven - some departments are way above the Austin norm, and others slightly below. But the company is steadily addressing this issue.
