Pros

The pay scale is fair and consistent with high tech Benefits are good Many opportunities to innovate and improve The culture is engineering centric The new campus is modern and inviting Austin TX is a good location for single people as well as raising a family

Cons

The culture is engineering centric The new campus design reflect some level of disconnect. Disciplines and groups are physically separated Collaboration across the enterprise is a foreign concept Relatively too much time is spent on looking good particularly at the senior levels Conformity is expected and rewarded even when individualism is sometimes publicly encouraged High level of resistance to change Employee survey results are often used to camouflage leadership gaps Despite all the wishful thinking, beating the competition continues to be an illusive fantasy
