Business Outlook

Pros

Great pay and benefits for undergraduates/graduate students--well beyond what other majors offer. Very lean groups meaning you'll have lots of interaction with senior management and other personnel. Newly renovated office building is nice to work in Very bright and talented employees--pound per pound they can hang with the majors.

Cons

Traffic can be horrible in Houston (offices located in Galleria area) Difficult to get recruited and convert job offers Stratified and difficult to move from one functional group to another.

Business Outlook

Pros

Some good co-workers and good challenges

Cons

Leadership in the Tucson office is highly political and unprofessional. Feedback is not given directly. Local leadership is more interested in Linkedin posting and image, rather than anything of substance.
