Not a great company to work for

Business Outlook

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).
