Pros

* Salary * Size helps when working w/ vendors and third parties - a lot of weight to swing around. * Houston Campus is really nice * 401k matching

Cons

* Leadership framework incentivizes selfish and poor behavior from those seeking to climb the corporate ladder * Organization does not actively shed dead weight as frequently as it should. There are too many people sitting around collective paychecks. * Lack of vision/strategy across several of the major business lines. * Lack of solid, well-communicated vision/strategy for the corporation as a whole * Annual performance evaluation process incentivizes bad behavior, demoralizes large percentages of the employee population, and is overly time-consuming to administer.

Pros

Good opportunities for networking and travel.

Cons

A significant HR issue between interns occurred during my internship and was handled very poorly. Once the matter came to HR’s and leadership’s attention, it was not officially resolved until months after the internship had ended. The VP privately apologized for the situation, but the overall response was inadequate and felt as though the situation was being swept under the rug. The lack of timely communication and follow-up created a very uncomfortable environment for a young intern and significantly impacted what was otherwise a positive internship experience.
