Pros

Colleagues, most of whom are recent college grads, are incredibly intelligent and generally pretty friendly. There are some happy hours and free lunches. The Austin office is located in the heart of downtown, which is cool. However, parking can be pricey.

Cons

The work life balance was seriously lacking. Hours are long, almost everyone eats at their desk because they don't have time to take a lunch break, and you're essentially expected to be on call 24/7. Probably because of this, employees tend to burn out quickly, which leads very high turnover. Also, the work can become very tedious after a while (too much of the same).

Pros

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Cons

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pros

People at the peer level are great and you learn about some interesting industries

Cons

This is the worst place I have ever worked. Management does not care about you. They put on a front, but push and push and ask for more no matter how hard you work. You can be a top performer, but if you leave on time to go home they're not happy. It's never enough and the work never ends. It's just not worth it.
