Pros

The Austin office has a much more laid-back culture than the Seattle HQ.

Compensation is awesome compared to other Austin companies, and the cost of living is reasonable.

It's a fast-paced work environment with very capable coworkers.

Cons

Most senior management is back in Seattle, which leads to a lot of remote meetings and more flying to Seattle than I would like.

Missing most of the crazy benefits of other big tech companies.

The company cafeteria isn't very good.

Advice to Management

As we continue to grow in Austin, don't lose the things that make this office unique.
