Pros

Weekly happy hours, daily lunches (if you work in Austin anyway), constant communication from top. Successfully growing company.

Cons

Rah-rah culture makes it feel like a cult. Most employees are very young and immature, picture college. Work-life balance is awful, this is a 24/7/365 workplace. Expect to be constantly connected, they love taking advantage of younger employees who don't know any better both in terms of workable hours and pay. Certain departments are disproportionately compensated but they've corrected this problem with new hires in the last few years creating a huge compensation gap between old & new. Many older employees are stuck there knowing they can't move on without taking a pay cut. Once the company was sold off to Recruit, everything went downhill. Upper management loves to take credit for original founders' successes, rarely take into consideration their own employees. If you like doing kegstands every thursday, this is the place for you!

Pros

I loved the talented people I worked with; I appreciated being appreciated; I loved helping employers hire; and I really thought this would be the company I retired from.

Cons

The company culture changed significantly after it became publicly traded; I didn't particularly care for how they handled layoffs; they didn't always act on the feedback they received; and they were slow to jump on the AI train.
