Pros

Getting paid for hours over 40 and weekly until 2011 The majority of the people are good to work with The complexity of the engineering environment gives good opportunity to learn a lot Nice building and location in south Austin

Cons

Employees are not empowered to make decisions Managers only look out for themselves and will throw employees under the bus They have laid off some really great people with a lot of domain knowledge that would challenge the status quo and kept those that were "yes men" now the ship is sinking even faster. Wish I didn't still have so much company stock...my portfolio has taken a major hit.
