Pluspunten

Good people with a lot of talent working there. Colleagues are willing to share knowledge and help each other. Nice location downtown Houston with easy access to parking and to the Shops at the Park. Lots of places to find solace during a break. Very nice amenities (ex, break rooms, rest rooms). Successful turnaround from bankruptcy and positive response from Wall Street.

Minpunten

Senior management of some organizations is completely lacking in true leadership skills (other than technical competence). Complete disregard for employee feelings/opinions. Very inadequate communications regarding expecations and performance. People feel stressed, wondering day-to-day if their job will be eliminated. I would describe certain senior managers as just plan mean, cold and uncaring. Firing people at whim, never mind telling responsible managers to "have fun" when firing someone is uncalled for. Extremely long hours with very little appreciation shown. Very political environment; senior management is under dictatorship from the CEO and most run scared of him. Focus on making money is important for any company, however doing so at the expense of employee morale at any level is unacceptable.
