      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Relatively relaxed working style, nice managers and colleagues. Great work life balance. Good benefits, pretty city (Austin). You'll like to work here if you enjoy working in a midsized fast-growing city with lots of young Mavericks, and if you're okay with the typical mid-class salary.

      Cons

      Lower than average compensation, especially for software developers. It's enough for a mid class life but their employees are worth more. Personal development is restricted,

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Lots of learning opportunity. The work here actually includes research. 2. Excellent work life balance. Maybe the best in the industry. 3. Extremely friendly environment. Everyone is approachable. You talk to ur managers as if they are ur childhood friends. 4. Excellent Culture and values. 5. Company is very stable. They have very limited market but they are leaders in their domain. They don't have to look for their competitors.

      Cons

      1. They don't differentiate between a developer and a tester. So if you are unlucky you could be put to testing team. 2. Company doesn't want to spend much on its employees. They haven't increased their joining level salary for years now. So, they cannot afford to hire people from premium institutes anymore.
