Pros

Local Austin company with many highly skilled and experienced consultants that seem to share a passion around software requirements. I had the luxury of meeting some really great people while working there. Office atmosphere can be a little hokey at times, but they tried hard to make it fun. Seilevel has good intentions to be a great niche company and do believe they still can. There will always be a need for good software requirements. Decent vacation time, but it also includes sick days and personal days. Seem to be concerned about work-life balance. Your voice can sometimes be heard.

Cons

It was always very dificult to understand the direction and intent of upper management. Very disconnected to lower level employees. Today we are going to do things this way, tomorrow differently, and the next day we'll go back to how we were doing it initially. Upper management is extremely intelligent and if you are not equally as smart, then you are basically very stupid (at least in their eyes). They have their favorites for projects and if you play your cards right, you might be chosen to lead a project even thought sometimes the leader is not capable of forging ahead and ensuring project success.

Pros

I had the time of my life at Seilevel (now ArgonDigital). Although I am no longer with the company, I look back on it with fondness and happy memories. The people who work there are all bright, helpful, and have the highest integrity. Their leadership is outstanding, transparent, and truly listens to their employees. It's a very rare company that has such an intersection of great leadership, talented people, and interesting work. Their mentoring program sets them apart from most employers and they have a very well-defined career path all the way from the most entry-level positions to the very top.

Cons

Like any other professional services company, sometimes the project you are on may not be your favorite, but the company truly makes an effort at employee satisfaction in this area. This is not a con of Seilevel per se, but of any company which provides consulting services.

Pros

Quick note: This place is not for everyone. From what I have seen, the people that thrive here are all very similar. I was here for some of the issues that were listed by the other reviews and while I agree with those to a certain extent, many of those problems have been fixed. Management has tried very hard to improve employee satisfaction and creating more structure to company processes. High level of transparency by management. Surrounded by incredibly intelligent minds who will cause you to push your own limits. Fun environment, but everyone knows when to joke around and when to work Happy hours!

Cons

Work can sometimes be monotonous and boring. Sometimes concerns are not well addressed. Interview process is very hard to get through. There is a subtle distinction between senior and junior resources, not always in a good way.
