Indeed Work Experiences
- 5.0A pretty great place to workSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesApril 27, 2020Pros: Good pay/bonuses Unlimited PTO Free breakfast and lunch Good work/life balance Good healthcare benefits Okay (3%) 401k matchCons: It really depends on what team you're on, but I think sometimes we over-engineer things. I think it makes sense to build out a really strong architecture for certain things, but not so much for others. I feel like we lean towards over-engineering most of the time. There aren't any RSUs like you'd get at public companies, so that part of your pay may be less than elsewhere.
