Pros

Good benefits, flexible work arrangements. Managers respected technical people and didn't micromanage. Most employees are high performers.

Cons

They have had layoffs it seems every year for the last decade. Nobody is safe other than executive level making the cuts. Constant restructuring & rebranding from retiring the names of the legacy OFS divisions, one baker hughes, failed hallibirton merger, being acquired by GE, combining with GE O&G, renaming to BHGE, to being sold again by GE, to new logos and another rebrand, now another restructure. There only focus seems to being acquired again and it be successful. Latest round of layoffs came from yet another restructuring into 2 business segments. It came down from executive level what positions didn't fit the new org charts and to lay them off. Managers had no say even up to director level. Indiscriminate cuts, with day's notice, no plans to replace expertise or workload. The company was already being ran very lean with no technical talent in the pipeline. Few people doing a lot of work. Sometimes only a single point of contact for entire products or services. I dont see a bright future for the company.

Pros

Company Truck is about it

Cons

- Don't pay you overtime even though a service company was sued over this. We say in the field, who will be the one to file. Case No. 2:16-cv-01752 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania - Field work is going away and going remote. - No recognition for hard work. - Living on rigs and never see friends or family. - Will work on rigs for 5 to 6 weeks at a time with no time off with 12 hour shift and getting up in the middle of the night to pick up tools without being able to put down overtime. - We no longer wear safety patches because safety doesn't mean anything when the customer starts complaining.

Pros

Medical benefits were some of the best I have had.

Cons

Cloak and dagger HR department Managers constantly threatening write if deadlines they set are not met. Managers have no experience in the area they are managing, they are field managers who talk in the most disrespectful and crass way. Constant sexism and harassment
