Pros

Salary was competitive, time off was good.

Cons

False promises of career planning and follow through. Failure to provide support when requested. Poor communication and lack of feedback rampant. Houston office was only good under Jeff.

People culture is dead. It's all about the profit.

Pros

Free lunches, access to technologies that help you do your job, training opportunities (depending on getting manager support - which is subjective).

Cons

If you listen to the messages from recruiters, you'll hear about a culture that is family oriented, puts their people first and allows work/life balance. It sounds great as a sales pitch to get you in the door but it's not reality. -Compensation - incentives wrong most of the time. Be prepared to fight for what is owed to you. Often this can take several months to clean up. -Inconsistent internal communication; a feeling of secrecy between leadership and staff. -No policies - everything is subjective and can change by leader. Do your best to guess at what is expected. . -Department silos create chaos and duplication of effort -The comment on old boys club is true, but it is more like a high school popularity contest. You are either with the "in" crowd or not. Decisions tend to favor the "in' crowd. -Gossip/water cooler talk seems to consume a lot of peoples time.

Pros

Company culture is very welcoming once you show that you will work hard. The friendships you make, make it nice to go to work. Great place to start a career in IT, the shared service desk will give you as much experience as you want, comparable to several years on a single client service desk

Cons

They lack on paying their employees appropriately Some people whine about favoritism Lack of growth in the US
