Pros
- flexible schedule - convenient corporate location (Greenspoint) - free parking garage - good vacation time (3 weeks + 10 sick days). Standard is 2 weeks vacation no matter how much work experience you have, but if you insist on 3 weeks they will give it to you. - Sign-on bonus (if you ask for it) - Average annual bonus
Cons
- IT department is the worst possible place to work - CIO has been with the company for 15+ years, therefore he lacks innovative vision beyond the walls of what he accomplished at Nabors. - Micromanagement to the extreme - HR has no power, therefore unethical behavior is the norm because IT leadership believes they are above any possible repercussions - IT Leadership shows favoritism to employees with same cultural background - Employees with tenure (10+ years) at the company receive special treatment, which makes it difficult for new employees to join the team and promote change for the better. - Large amount of wasteful spending by IT - No accountability for actions. Leadership pushes sub-par projects through the pipeline in order to meet their annual goals and receive their large bonuses, all at the expense of the users and staff who is overworked and underpaid.
