Why you want to work there

This Houston-based consultancy for the oil and gas, energy trading, power and natural resources industries goes to great lengths to make sure its employees feel appreciated. The company holds two large social events per year, and an offsite social outing each month. Noah Consulting isn't bound to a particular technology, so IT staffers can use the tools that the firm's clients use or help them choose new tools. This technology-agnostic approach also fosters interdependency and respect among employees.
