Pros

Great work life balance; the company cares and gives to employees; lots of opportunities for proactive people

Cons

Focus on quantity and not quality; doing the right thing and doing the thing that gives you largest bonus are often different things; Bonus is largely based off on a highly imperfect formula; often no time to achieve greatness, as there is pressure to deliver quantity

Pros

Opportunity to work with extremely bright and driven colleagues. Strong emphasis on technology and data-driven decision-making. Competitive compensation packages and great office perks in the Austin tech hub.

Cons

The workload can be intense with high expectations for delivery. The proprietary nature of the work means using many in-house tools rather than industry-standard open source. Can feel siloed depending on which specific project or team you are assigned to.
