Boart Longyear reviews

Constant layoffs limit advancement (too much pay/benefits= laid off), cause constant change, add new responsibilities without additional pay/benefits, stress out employees who see their key staff leaving and wonder if they're next and lead to poorly trained/capable staff; Old boys club culture means you're either in or out; Too many managers trying to make a name for themselves because they have to or else; Executives are masters at bending the truth; Little care for wellbeing of employees from upper mgmt (low/mid-mgmt typically doesn't share in this): Harassment and inappropriate situations; FREQUENT no-win situations (primarily due to having too many bosses)- especially between drilling services and products (the resale/manufacturing division); Little to no concern for the future of employees; Do what I say/not what I do mentality; Sr. Management perks are rarely shared with the rest of the company; Lack of accountability; Lack of authority to effect needed change; Little appreciation for skill sets beyond your capability to give the desired answer; Frequent requirement to lie to customers; Code of ethics is what YOU should follow, but not necessarily Sr. mgmt.; Metrics are frequently completely disassociated from actual market conditions; Sr. Management thinks they know what's best for everyone, but since they're never in the trenches, they don't know what they don't know.

Where do you start with this one. Highly toxic culture with poor management that doesn't care. Unless you're in the good ole boys club, you won't get very fair. Nearly all areas of this business are managed by egotists including the C-Suite. Very hard to get things done as a lot of mid level to upper level managers are combative. My advice - move on.
