Nice People, Grinding Management
Senior Software Engineer • Former Employee
Austin, Texas, United States
April 9, 2013
Pros: Mostly nice people to work with, at least the ones not scared of losing their jobs and backstabbing people to keep them.
Many projects to choose from; this company really does do it all.
Pay is good if you can get hired in at the right rate.
Cons: Management is grinding their employees out. Expect to be hired for a position only to pick up one or two extra jobs within a year of working there.
Miserable work environment, morale is very low and gets worse with the constant fear that layoffs are coming.
Difficult to move jobs unless a project falls apart. You are constantly being told you are either too valuable to move or that you don't have the right skills.
