Pros

For 90% of teams, work/life balance is fantastic.

Pay is well above average for the area (in Texas).

Software stacks are modern.

Quality engineers to work with.

Cons
  • Extremely political culture: stack ranking encourages sandbagging others and results in people being unfairly thrown under the bus.
  • Leadership silos each line of business, causing a lot of repeat work and multiple products that serve the same goal.
  • Business priorities change too rapidly, causing engineering teams to scramble to try and keep up while keeping their promised deliverables.
