Pros

There are some very capable technical people but there are just as many doing little and hanging on. Austin is more affordable than CA.

Cons

Software development is considered less valuable than hardware. There is a bit of a silo mentality which creates competition between teams that should be working together.

Great people and office environment, but there's a lack of direction.

Pros

The people are great. A very family friendly company. The office always has a good feel to it. It is very rare to run into anyone that is not nice.

Cons

Wish the company had a solid direction in the industry, instead of being happy with being number 2. This mentality goes all the way down too.
