Pros

A lot of friendly leaders

Cons

- Below Average Pay if you stay in this org for a long time, Keep switching companies and come back for a better pay - Leadership is mostly clueless and extremely slow to adapt to changing times. The justification is always 'We have the laggers advantage'. - Some of senior leaders who struggle with using basic technology takes decision on adoption of latest technology - Culture and employee benefits below industry standards - Micro-management is now a mainstream management technique - No clear measurement of job performance - Too much internal politics to grow in your career - Very outdated technology across the business

Pros

Paternity leave is generous for men 10 weeks paid (up to 16 weeks with 6 unpaid).

Cons

- Lack of progression opportunities. - Below market compensation. - Below market bonuses. - Clique office culture. - Micromanagement from leadership. - Fake “flexible work” with in market leadership unofficially forcing full office attendance. - Unbelievably slow hiring process especially when staff leave (almost 40% of all Texas staff quit within 1 year). Almost 12 months after some people left those seats still haven’t been filled. - Very negative office environment
