Pros
Flexible, usually a good work life balance, great mission, most of the people are wonderful.

Little to no opportunities for advancement, lots of outside "friends" brought on. Job postings are misleading. If you apply, don't be surprised if you don't even get acknowledged.

Pros
People are nice. Office is clean. Gym/kitchen area's are nice. Flexible schedule.
Cons
If you are a contract person, you will not be hired on after your contract. LCRA has this messed up policy about hiring people after the contract is done, blame HR. HR has TOO MUCH POWER, I have heard a lot of bad news about HR. when I was a contractor my background was handed to HR from the start and they were ok with it. I had some minor things from 6 or 7 years back. I was offered a position there, after being there 10 months. When HR ran my background check they got the same info the first time around then then fired me and cancelled my contract afterwards.
