Pros

A lot of great people still work there, for now. Many have been shown the door as of late. -Competitive benefits and compensation, although the compensation is starting to trend in the wrong direction. -If you are a part of certain factions, you will have a comfortable experience for a couple years. -Facilities are well maintained.

Cons

A lot of middle management folks who are not equipped to handle all of the change occurring. -Certain directors get to "retire", and then stick around for a lingering project, even if they performed poorly, while others get cut immediately. You decide how to perceive that behavior. -HR has a "It's all about Houston" mentality, especially with the new building being constructed. This is an unfortunate outlook considering the skilled talent in the northeast market. -HR will also hinder your career opportunities with their lattice structure. -IT has some folks who are way too cliquey, questionable leaders in place.

Pros

Great place to work. Although there has been a lot of change over the past few years, I feel the company is back on track. Culture has been dramatically improved.

Cons

Not much at this time. Still lots of change ahead though as the company transforms into a tower focused company.

Pros

Depending on who is running your team (I’ve had 3 different team leads in the 3 years that I’ve been a full time employee,) some have provided great mentoring, and have taught me a lot.

Cons

Job security is extremely unstable, and employees often feel like they are one decision away from becoming part of another layoff statistic. In my experience, women were not always treated equitably compared to their male counterparts, depending heavily on the leadership structure within the department. The company also showed limited willingness to accommodate health conditions, often searching for loopholes to minimize support, assistance, or benefits during times when employees and their families needed them most. Leadership roles often felt transactional and tied directly to the company’s immediate operational goals. For example, when a department needed growth, leadership would bring in individuals with strong industry relationships, connections, and expertise to help expand profitability and establish the department. However, once those goals were achieved and the leader’s network or strategic value had been fully utilized, the company would frequently move on from them—either through reassignment or termination—in favor of the next person who fit the company’s evolving objectives. Overall, the culture created an environment where many employees felt expendable rather than valued long-term.
