Pros

The best thing about Astound _WAS_ the people and culture.

Cons

Things changed a lot at Astound recently. They got a new CEO who laid off most of the company right before Christmas (laid off 23 people and kept only 10 including himself).

Pros

1. Supporting management staff to do the job and do the job right. 2. I'm working with some of the brightest folks in the Silicon Valley and I've been in the IT industry for over 20+ years. Consulted for 30+ organizations. 3. Every staff member is smart and professional. They treat everybody with respect! 4. The work / life balance is real! It's real with this company. But as adults and professionals, we need to commit to deadlines and project deliverable's... I work from home 4 days out of a week as promised.

Cons

1. For me, it's just a bit of a distance from where I live, 2 hr one way drive... But by allowing me to work from home, it just erases the con right off the book. 2. Snacks and drinks, I'm already overweight as it is... But by having these snacks available, when I do come to the office and stay late, I can atleast snack :).
