Never thought working at a startup could be this much fun - Software Development Engineer Ownwell Employee Review

Amazing company with great hands-on training and team support. Innovative technology and open to change and improving results for the customers. Though my time was seasonal, it was a great environment for learning property tax appeals for someone with no experience when I started.

No cons at this time.

Competitive compensation at the offer stage. Good people, the day-to-day environment is genuinely friendly and collaborative. Food in the office is a real perk when well-stocked.

Tooling and platforms are heavily locked down. It's difficult to experiment with or learn modern tools, which limits both execution and your ability to grow your skill set. Frustrating at a company that's supposed to be tech-forward. Limited path for growth. The leadership bench is almost entirely made up of people hired directly into leadership roles. Promoting up from IC isn't really a thing here. You can be doing director-level work without ever getting the title or comp that should come with it. No 401k match is a strange omission at this stage. Post-Series B, with strong financials - the absence stands out when you're comparing total comp against other Austin tech offers. Been requested monthly and never given a good reason against. In-office culture leans toward desk-watching. Presence and visibility are valued in ways that feel disconnected from output.
