Pros

Amazing people Good pay Good benefits Nice offices

Cons

Very conservative Managers rule by fear Focused on minutiae (e.g. typo on contract) vs. on the bigger picture (damaging customer relationships and losing potential of business deals) Knee-jerk reaction to latest buzzword in the business world (simplicity, standardization, diversity) which leads to lack of business (for the company) and career opportunities (for employees)

Pros

BHPBs Houston facilities are very nice, and given the new building under construction, they are sure to be even nicer in the future. BHPB also pays very well, although not well enough to justify the cons of the company culture and weak leadership in place at the company.

Cons

Management will tell you what you want to hear in order to get you in the door. They will put a great job description in front of you, tell you all about the perks of BHPB - on site cafeteria, gym, health care, etc. But, beware. Your actual job will vary significantly from the job that they sold you. In my case, I interviewed for a senior level job, but ended up doing entry level work. I felt as if my skills were being dulled by the lack of mental stimulation. When, I spoke to my boss about the matter, he acknowledged the situation but told me to "suck it up and make the most of it. At one point, he even threatened to humiliate me in front of my peers. Such situations-the manipulation and bullying-occur over and over again at BHPB. It's an accepted behavior throughout the company. I certainly would not recommend this job to any well-respected colleague or friend.
