Pros

401(k) and good mid level managers.

Cons

After various re orgs they still can't get it right. The future of gas and oil is moving towards data driven strategy leveraging technology. Even though it's an oil and gas company a new way of thinking and culture has to be cultivated to leverage technology to improve placing more importance in positions like software engineers, data engineers, data scientist, IT, developers, mechanical engineers, etc. without the use of out sourcing because it would dilute the progress significantly due to the low effort of who it's outsourced to. To create maybe not innovation on how to extract oil but how to optimize what's already inplace through the use of data, IOT, drones, predictive analytics and other domains. Eventually building up to having an autonomous self sufficient data feedback oil and gas extraction system that can be monitored in real time.

Pros

Interesting work with very smart colleagues, Many opportunities to travel and/or take expat assignments. Stellar benefits including 401k match of 8% + pension + RSUs. Better DEI than most companies due to international workforce.

Cons

Most jobs are high workload and high stress, leading to poor health and zero work/life balance. 90% of managers are superb, but the other 10% make life hellish. Few opportunities to advance and layoffs occur every few years when oil prices tank. Base comp and cliff vesting for RSUs is not competitive.
