Pros

Taco Tuesday once a month, free sodas in break room

Cons

Their Austin office is an incredibly unpleasant place to work. They had to have multiple meetings in the two years while I was there about employees not yelling offensive things at each other in the open cubicle section of the office. Coworkers would regularly try to start offensive debates in the break room HR was in the room or in earshot for several of them and did nothing. I was also forwarded chats where people used the office chat system to send offensive jokes. And it is largely staffed by people who are just doing as little work as possible. There were dev deadlines that were literally years past due. The office culture here is the worst I have ever experienced. Would not recommend to anyone.

Pros

The North American CEO Genuinely cares about the well being of the employees and made it clear that work life balance was to be respected. They publicly disclosed their vacation time they took to encourage people to catch up. The work was interesting and Kapsch is always on the bleeding edge of technology implementation in the North American Market. Every project manager I worked with on Tolling and Traffic was made me want to learn how to operate on their level. Kapsch was very inclusive, I was provided a pride version of the email signature in 2021 and was never pressured to change it to appease customers. I deeply appreciated that,

Cons

The workload can be demanding as the headcount has not caught up to pre pandemic levels caused by delays in project awards as funding dries up.
