Pros
The office is being remodeled. The company is committed to hiring new graduates. Excellent consultant company, less an engineering focused company. Still pay their employees regularly.
Cons
Employee churn was always high. Recently the Austin office laid off 10% of its workforce. These were well liked staff members and engineers with three or more years at the company. Once again the culture of fear is palatable. The owning partners said the laid off employees were "under performing". The partners also said it was "resizing". The layoff points to the consistent poor handling of engineering talent by management. Management got greedy and over hired? Yes. Perhaps they took their eye off of filling the work pipeline? Yes. Place the blame on other people? Yes. Consulting companies are notorious for off-shoring engineering work. The partners are former consultants who are repeating the pattern because, like the big consultant firms, they view engineers as disposable.
