      Business Outlook

      Pros

      --It's a creative, collaborative environment. Coworkers were by far the best part about the company. --Fairly generous career counseling and severance provided after they lay you off.

      Cons

      --Layoffs, year after year. Sometimes multiple per year. --Constant restructuring, renaming, rebranding, reorganizing --Deceptive, cowardly, lazy middle management --Incompetence at leadership level --Completely worthless Human Resources, at least in the Austin office --May sound naive, but there's 0 loyalty here. None. No effort to retain top performers

      No longer the company I grew to love

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Best co-workers a person could ask for. Wonderful, dedicated, professional, intelligent, team players. Great benefits, ability to telecommute, flexible work schedules.

      Cons

      Direction of company under John Fallon has taken a downturn. Multiple reorganizations and layoffs of long-time employees. Morale among remaining employees -- at least in the division I was in -- is very low.
