Pros
1. Generally free-spirited work environment. 2. Vacation policy (or lack thereof). 3. Decent downtown location. 4. Lots of potential for young, hard-working ambitious personalities to be involved in generally interesting work.
Kontras
1. A serious lack of vision, direction and management at the C-Level, most notably the CEO/CFO. Invodo's senior management goes to great lengths to try and self-identify with a cultural dogma of ingenuity and creativity but has no idea how to actually foster such an environment. Senior management lacks a fundamental understanding of the constantly evolving tech space which breeds an atmosphere of resentment and alienation from those in the trenches. 2. Very poor work/life balance at mediocre/sub-standard market wages for the Austin job market. 3. Reasonable requests for raises/support staff/etc met with firm and ungiving resistance from management despite constant claims of profitability and growth. 4. Lack of accountability for underachieving/culturally poisonous employees who are few and far between but cemented due to internal politics and the absence of middle management.
