Pros

Pay is good, culture is good, work-life balance is great.

Cons

Location in Austin is somewhat "middle of nowhere" south of downtown Austin and requires a car to get to.

Thanks for leaving a review! Finding a place that can house 700+ employees while also providing parking requires a lot of planning, with the current facilities at Encino Trace offering both. Since we signed up as one of the original tenants during pre-construction, we also had ample feedback and say in the layout/design of the building. The idea was to being able to house everyone all in one spot as opposed to spread out over multiple building, similar to our Cambridge offices. That said, we do offer a lot of flexible working, providing employees with the tools they need to remote login to access data/HPC as needed. The work-life balance you mentioned also extends to the trust we have in our employees to get their work done. This could mean you work a different time shift, say from 6am-3pm, to avoid traffic, or from 8am-3pm to head home and pick up your kids, while then finishing up the last 2 hours from home. I encourage you to talk to your line manager on more flexible working scenarios, as ultimately it starts with the employee/line manager relationship. -Rick C.
