Pros
Emergo is doing a lot of things right. Inclusive, multi-cultural environment. Generous PTO and flex schedule options (plenty of work/life balance). Management is friendly and accessible, and they seem to genuinely care about the people who work here. They understand that happy employees work harder. Strong performance is rewarded with career advancement opportunities. Emergo isn't your typical 20-something corporate environment. There are people of all ages and backgrounds, which is a nice change. The work is challenging and the industry is promising. I'm very happy here.
Cons
Job satisfaction at Emergo seems directly related to your department and its leadership. I hear whispers of dissatisfaction, micro-management, and high turnover in other departments. Also, the health coverage is well below average. Compensation is fair but my peers in similar roles at other Austin companies make about $10k more than I do, which is significant. I'm not complaining, but after doing some research, I think I would make more elsewhere. If I'm not making considerably more in a couple years, I'll be forced to move on if I want to stay ahead of Austin's rising cost of living. Another reviewer commented that there is "no sexism" and that is not true. ;-) Yes, there are women in management and they are well-respected. But anyone who says there is no sexism is probably...a man. The PTO is generous (20+ days - thank you!) but there are strings. This includes sick time and paid HOLIDAYS are bare bones. Basically, you'll be working on Christmas Eve unless you use a PTO day.
