Lot of opps, but not the right place for me

Test Engineer • Current Employee

Austin, Texas, United States

Pros: Lot of opportunities; they work on cutting-edge products.

Cons: The biggest drawback for me is that the environment I work at is way competitive and passive-aggressive. I am sure 30 percent of the time is spent by many employees just watching their backs and dealing with internal politics. I have no idea why some teams here don't work collaboratively enough.
