ConocoPhillips reviews

It is a large company, so things tend to move slowly, and you have to follow some crazy rules. The oilfield is also not a fun place to work when times are bad. And after the company split into upstream and downstream components, ConocoPhillips continues to specialize more and more on Lower 48 shale plays. This may be a good business decision, but it limits career opportunities for mechanical engineers.

With the low and lower oil prices, the company has gone through three fairly significant rounds of staff reductions and asset dispositions.
