Pros

fitness center on facility is great. Decent pay for Houston (industry average).

Cons

Terrible place for engineers in the beginning of their career (0 - 5 years). No engineering or real work done. Most employees are pushing paperwork and project scheduling. People that remain are milking pension and looking for retirement, or are content doing nothing new for the rest of their career. Extremely bureaucratic and incompetent managers talk about the buzzwords like data science, renewables, Agile, impact-from-day-one, and engineering but have little understanding of what these actually mean and lack the technical foundation. Very little vacation (even with the new policy) and expensive cafeteria.

Pros

Supportive team environment with good learning opportunities and exposure to large-scale projects. Compensation and benefits are competitive, and the company offers strong brand recognition and career development resources.

Cons

Decision-making can be slow due to layers of management, and processes sometimes feel overly bureaucratic. Workload and priorities can shift quickly, which may create stress depending on the team.
