Layoffs layoffs layoffs

Pros

Good benefits and surprisingly progressive on policies like permissive leave

Cons

NOT innovative as a whole. Most functions working like it’s 10 years ago with old technology. They want to be an energy tech company but most leadership doesn’t understand basic tech to help administratively do our jobs well. Every all hands is scripted and full of toxic positivity. No consideration for the intelligence of employees who want and need more transparency. The most lackluster and uninvolved HR leadership, but thanks for the mental health moments.. And yes layoffs. But the most lazy and short sighted. Absolutely great people being let go, some with decades of tenure. Baker Hughes’ brand is going to take a hit as it seems they can’t figure out how to responsibly shift business strategy.

Record Profits? Record Lay-Offs!

Pros

Baker Hughes spent time hiring the best so your coworkers are smart. Benefits are good and permissive leave is great if you work with a group that supports you.

Cons

Baker Hughes is now getting rid of their good employees. The company is posting great profits but those are based on drastically reducing jobs in support functions like HR, Finance, and IT. Layoffs have been happening for almost a year to meet an overpriced consultant's recommendation. Any job that is deemed critical is being moved offshore because leaders cannot hire in the U.S. or Canada. Individual performance doesn't matter. Don't think you are valuable or irreplaceable, because you're not.
