Pros

No one cares when you show up or how late you work, as long as you get your projects done.

Dress code is non-existent, and I sometimes wear shorts and a t-shirt to work.

Great benefits and decent pay.

An onsite gym is a nice perk, as well as the onsite cafeteria.

The Lone Star campus in Austin is beautiful.

Cons

Some of the internal processes are a bit convoluted and poorly documented, but this varies from team to team. Each team is managed independently of the rest, so there is quite a bit of variation in how your day-to-day work goes depending on who your manager is. Different teams solve problems in different ways, so it's not always easy to use another team's solution for a similar problem.

Advice to Management

Keep up the consolidation. Communication between teams needs to be tightened, and processes need to be documented and standardized.
