Some departments great, others terrible

Pros

- Able to purchase up to 2 weeks of holidays with flex dollars - 6% pension, 2% stocks "gift", and 4% contribution match to savings plan is one of the best in the business

Cons

- Totally disorganized implementation of SAP accounting system, still in shambles - HR department not helpful with resolving issues - Some really great younger talent that deserves to be promoted, but have to wait until someone quite or retires to get recognized - Drilling and Completions departments have very low morale - Once a good project gets identified Devon has a way of stepping in and over-complicating and over-managing it, thereby taking away the ownership from the workers
