Business Outlook

Pros

Great work culture in relation to work life balance, and there are benefits to working on the client side in that the bankers travel to our location instead of having to travel out.

Cons

Work culture can be too PC. It's an older company with some entrenched folks who don't like to move quickly on things.

Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly coworkers 9/80 Schedule Training and development opportunities are plentiful Relaxed work environment

Cons

Bureaucratic decision-making Factory business model in the Permian leads to very narrow job responsibilities. Total compensation diverges significantly from the independents after 5+ years of experience for PE and G&G roles. Stock options are restricted to quite senior pay grades.
