Great on paper... tough on your moral

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent flex benefits, beautiful building.

Cons

Moral is painful. Reporting to an american side makes it a very difficult place to adjust to. As canadians, we have a different work culture that outperforms counterparts in the US without the use of fear or intimidation to manage people. (my way or the high way type attitude)

Founder died, heir will retire and CEO has no clue on how to run the company

Pros

Great compensation package for you to travel and forget your annoying coworkers.

Cons

Lots of nepotism in a classicist driven environment. People DO get fired due to brown nose puppet masters.

No one ever gets fired

Business Outlook

Pros

Company Culture is great. Devon treats employees independently; not over managed. You can work at Devon for pretty much forever.

Cons

Promotions are largely based on time with the company and not merit. Upward mobility typically is a result of someone else voluntarily leaving the company.
