Perot Systems

[minus1972]

so I have an offer from Perot systems coming out of school and so far it looks like my best bet. Is there anyone that works for Perot, or has worked there, and can tell me a little bit about what it's like? I've heard that it's a lot of hard work and very, very long hours but it's rewarding and the experience is valuable. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

anyone?

I believe Ross Perot started the company.

he did...which is somewhat strange but he doesn't run it anymore.

Why is it strange that Perot Systems was started by Ross Perot?

Seems like that makes sense to me. It'd be strange if Perot Systems was started by James Smith or someone not named "Perot".

I just don't picture him being involved in IT, that's all. Has anyone here worked there?

I think Perot started as a salesman for IBM

I'd like to hear some experiences too.

Perot started EDS, too.

I'm going through the interview process with them... The comments on vault.com seem to indicate a cult-like culture, stagnant pay, no bonuses as promised, poor management communication, associate employees are known as "rank and file"(?), military style management.

I think they're a good short-term opportunity due to their line of business and length of contracts.
