Pros

An interesting array of mostly well designed products on both mobile and desktop products. They have a great design team to work with and a good focus on fit an finish. A good place to get experience in mobile.

Cons

Poor upper management that expected to have it both ways when it came to expecting employees to take initiative vs managing risk. Constantly changing priorities and product designs. A lot of churn and micromanagement. I told people I felt my role had become that of a mind reader. A rude and disrespectful approach to employees when management's expectations were not exactly met. Consequently I shut down and took the least risky options in all decisions until I left voluntarily. The offices on the west side of Austin are for the most part a depressing and dark cube farm. I had high hopes when i joined the team and loved the products, but I was very disappointed by management. They could not seem to bring themselves to walk it like they talked it.

Great company full of extremely intelligent people. If you are motivated, you will definitely enjoy the work as well as the ability to have a positive impact on the culture and make a genuine difference.

Cons

Like anywhere, budget constraints given the current market.
