Pros

Great Houston campus. A lot great internal resources and perks. Good and talented employees. If you can get your foot in the door, it's a very good place to work.

Cons

Silos, difficult to move from BU to BU to grow career. Legacy and preferential hiring practices.

Pros

Fairly relaxed, flexible hours, 9/80 schedule, easy to convince others that you are an expert in a particular area or product.

Cons

Company is in a constant state of flux and reorganization. Project Management side of the business wants to make change in culture but doesn't follow through on supporting other segments of the organization (engineering in particular). Even though there have been quite a few layoffs seems most of the folks let go were the productive people and an overwhelming amount of dead weight is still around. The company management structure is more like office space with no clear directive on a day to day which makes it tough to make progress on anything.

Pros

good salary, great benefits, challenging environment. it has health center, cafeteria and fitness club on campus. Engineers do not do lot of calculations , end up reviewing subcontractor work. Opportunity for training and developing management skills.

Cons

You need to very proactive stay relevant. Need to have right connections and keep bosses happy to keep job. Reorganizations never end. One after another. seems like that is another way of creating job and the upper management keep relevance.
