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.
Cons
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.
