Pros
Futurex is a really unique company. We're in an age when data security is becoming more important with each passing day. Here in scenic, 20-miles from anything important, Bulverde Tx, Futurex is applying the latest cryptographic technologies to secure some of the most well known brands around the world.
I knew absolutely nothing about data security or cryptography 2 years ago when I graduated and started working at Futurex. Now I feel very confident in my ability to apply cryptography to any real world situation. I've often compared Futurex to reverse-college. We're getting paid to learn.
Nobody in the software engineering department is just a coworker. We're all good friends. It's because we all have the same attitude. We all have an appreciation for learning, a good day's work, and LAN parties.
I have a passion for programming, and this is the place I want to be. If you have the will to learn, and enjoy programming, I think this is the place for you too.
Cons
Critical thinking skills required. You really have to figure out the small things on your own. There are a lot of self-motivated go-getters at Futurex, so that is where the bar is set.
