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

Work-life balance has been great at the Long Beach site. My coworkers are very considerate and supportive. Benefits suck as parental leave and 401k, Roth 401k, and mega backdoor Roth make it so you can really get ahead in terms of retirement building. They are trying to get better in culture and performance rather than some companies that don’t even pretend to care. During the pandemic there was no training. Now there’s some!

Cons

Base pay can be slightly lower than other companies for specific skills. Each site and each organization within each site has its own culture depending on who is the VP/executive team. There are so many executives it’s hard to get things done. Things move very slowly.
