Pros

Good pay Decent benefits. There's not much else I can say that's good about them.

Cons

Everyone runs around like chickens with their heads cut off, over reacting to the smallest things. Morale is terrible, middle management is worthless and are overpaid expeditors that don't know how to actually manage. I can go on and on

Pros

Good benefits. Affordable housing in Houston. Great metro setting, multi-cultural, great schools and neighborhoods.

Cons

Almost no opportunity to advance at mid-career. Management ties promotion to short term busines goal, not employee performance. If you are looking for a company that values its employees and their talents, this is not the right place. They also value non-technical capabilities more than technical. Management is very short-sighted.

Pros

Benefits are very good and they used to be excellent; although they may start deteriorating if the economy does not improve soon.

Cons

Promotions are based on your ability to become buddies with particular managers. Promotions are not based on skills or capabilities or how well you perform. Company doesn't stand by what it says publicly; e.g., it stresses an education but if you have or get advanced degrees, it goes nowhere, making your hard work a waste of time and energy. There are no leaders among management. Just managers. I have not seen any "cons" in this website that I don't agree with. All appear to be accurate, imo. Very little to non-existent OTJ training. I have not had any in the time I have been with the company. Managers appear to work 40 hour stress-free work weeks while the workers are overworked and unappreciated. Not much tasking to work in the area one was trained in let alone help one grow or learn the latest standards.
