If you work in IT, run the other way, if you work in Engineering or another area, walk very quickly to a better company. - Systems Administrator Jacobs Employee Review

Pros

9 hour days with every other Friday off.

Cons

Nepotism and favoritism run rampant in the IT department in Houston. If you get hired in IT and you are not one of the few that make it into "the club", you won't last long. Management doesn't know the meaning of honesty or fairness. Benefits are well below average for a large company in Houston. No bonuses of any kind here, not even a Christmas party.
