Great benefits, major issues in OKC office

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits - 100% paid insurance, stock options, bonuses

Cons

They will overwork you, micromanage you, talk down to you, never apologize, communicate in a very calculated, sneaky manner and they give totally unrealistic deadlines. It feels like even when you are on PTO you can’t relax or put your work away because they have zero disregard or respect for anyone being out of office. Management is really smart though. They are great at talking their way out of things and passing blame downward when speaking to the Midland execs. I hear the Midland office has a great culture, but OKC has been an unaddressed disaster for years. Also, it is totally a “be in your seat for xx hours because we’re watching you” culture. Completely behind the times in that regard, especially after over a year of being remote due to COVID.
