Pros
The pay was very good for a first job out of college, and the city of Houston itself was a great place to be. Many of the people there were genuinely nice and some of them I wouldn't mind working with again. Also, the role I was in offered lots of flexibility in terms of how you wanted to develop and what you wanted to do at the company.
Cons
It's a very traditional corporate structure and falls victim to the "robbing Peter to pay Paul" and "penny wise, pound foolish" mentalities too often. I was there largely as a designer and felt that my opinion was overrun because of both my young age and a general disregard for the voices of designers at the company. As a result, right before I left several of the senior designers had already resigned or were in the process of doing so. I was also made aware on a few occasions that my purpose was really to just make wireframes of what the project managers designed, not directly but more constantly being tasked to "mock it up like this." That's not the proper design process, to have them do it and ask me to mock it up - the designers should be solutioning the best approach and presenting it to the project managers/business team, not the other way around. I recognize this is all from the viewpoint of someone not in a traditional business role at a Fortune 200 company, but as a designer I found their approach unfavorable. However, if that's not the type of role you want hear, it's likely worth a shot. Also, I've heard that since I left they've started to redo how they go about managing projects so some of these issues may have cleared up since.
