Pros

I don't see anything good at this company at the Austin location. It has good brand value globally, but the Austin location is completely different.

Cons

Austin location is mainly controlled by the local management, they can do anything they want. They don't give value to the talent rather to their relatives and families. They laid off good talented engineers, and retained manager wives and friends even they didn't have proper educational qualification for an engineer. They even laid of the full-time employees and converted their wives and families from contracting to full-time positions. It's the worst work culture I have ever seen. The company's CEO strives for building better culture, but these local leaders completely go against that and all their political actions are not visible to the top management.
