-Took individual stand-up desks away because they didn't look "aesthetically pleasing" -Many people are more into socializing than doing actual work. This makes it a difficult work environment to excel in, yet alone concentrate -Marketing team is essentially a social club, unless you know how to schmooze and suck up to upper management, don't expect to be noticed or excel in your career for hard work. You could get away with doing the bare minimum or work very hard, it'll be noticed the exact same. It's all about how you can talk yourself up, despite how well you execute -There are many cliques within the Marketing team itself -Many people say the culture is their favorite thing about the company, but really the culture is about drinking and socializing outside of work - hard to maintain a work/life balance if you're into that -Marketing is the most "un-lean" department in the company. They've already spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on paid advertising this year alone, yet have minimally invested in members to actually produce the content that’s being promoted

Teams are quite territorial, and cross-team collaboration can be very difficult. The company doesn't seem to have concrete plans for where they want to go: the long-term roadmap is very muddy. The company's product strategy seems to change regularly, and the marketing strategy is non-existent. There's also a strong cult of personality/Kool Aid thing happening here. If you don't want to spend your free time with your coworkers, playing games and drinking and goofing off, you're deemed a poor culture fit, and woe to anyone who wants to be successful here if that happens. The result is the company skews young and inexperienced, as older, more established people aren't super interested in all the "fun and foosball" of the Austin tech startup scene.
