Business Outlook
Pros
Large company with many opportunities for lateral movement, you often move to a new job/role within 18 months - 2 years. Generally nice people to work with, from a wide range of backgrounds; very tolerant culture. Decent compensation and benefits, at least compared to other local companies - it's one of the very few large companies in the Austin area with good "corporate" job opportunities (marketing, finance, etc), in my opinion.
Cons
Lack of career path. Senior/executive management still has to prove itself. Decision making very short-term based and "mechanical", i.e. quarterly P&L results are everything, long-term objectives are secondary (if that). Cost and headcount reductions as common reaction to revenue falling short of plan.
