Pros

9 hour days with every other Friday off.

Cons

Nepotism and favoritism run rampant in the IT department in Houston. If you get hired in IT and you are not one of the few that make it into "the club", you won't last long. Management doesn't know the meaning of honesty or fairness. Benefits are well below average for a large company in Houston. No bonuses of any kind here, not even a Christmas party.

Pros

Great company atmosphere, very different feels in different offices. Good support and balance of work-play. Higher level employees are extremely competent and helpful.

Cons

Did not get a huge variety of work, since my office was focused on one project, but generally a good experience.
