- 3.0Otherwise, a decent company letting politics take the wheelSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesFebruary 5, 2025Pros: Associates are treated with respect and dignity. New technology trends are taken seriously. Occasionally late to the party, but they do show up.Cons: Leadership seems to not know whether it's coming or going. Budgetary infighting, leading to surprise, last-minute major cuts and realignment. Poor interdepartmental communication, leading to operations and systems desynchronization. Lack of trust, leading to ever increasing levels of pointless bureaucracy. Contractors are highly expendable; they will use you as "flex" and are aggressively outsourcing.
