Benefits are good. Culture is horrible.

Pros

Insurance and bonuses were the only high points of working for Diamondback. They gave quarterly bonuses to only the accounting department. Everyone else had to wait until their yearly review.

Cons

Management is horrible. They look for reasons to reprimand you. Supervisor obviously has never been in a position to manage anyone. If you have constant turn over not due from firing anyone then obviously there is a problem with management. No one should feel threatened to come to work or worry what nit picky problems they found after they left for the day. The only way to survive is to constantly kiss the controllers back side and giggle at everything she thinks is funny.

Great company to work for

Pros

The company is growing so you have a lot of opportunity for advancement. The team of people here are excellent in their fields and are a pleasure to work with. The benefits and bonus structure are great! Our CEO is excellent at his job and cares about his employees, that seems to be harder and harder to find these days.

Cons

We do have times where a project has to get done and you need to work longer hours but everyone on the team pulls together to get things done. Those times are maybe a couple times a year. If you are in accounting or Division Orders, I've heard the atmosphere in Oklahoma is very different so I'd be cautious taking a job there.

Pros

The lean structure of this company allows for direct involvement in all significant company decisions. Management trusts their employees to accomplish high quality work and the employees return the favor. All personnel are top notch in their respective disciplines and it is a joy to work with them all on a daily basis. Being a small company, everyone sees the goal and strives toward it. Some may think that being with a lean company like this means that you have no work/life balance. That is far from the truth at Diamondback. This is the only company that understands that when they hire an employee, they hire a family as well. Well done. Benefits are outstanding. 100% paid medical insurance and it is a good plan, not a bargain basement one. Their 401K match is the best I've experienced in this industry. Fitness reimbursement, tuition reimbursement, training emphasis if it fits business needs, and bonus structures are top notch.

Cons

Hours can get a little long when something important comes up, but everyone rallies around it and doesn't shrink from that responsibility. But it is only temporary, and once the project is accomplished the longer hours are not expected to continue. The common theme is, do your work, do it well, and the hours don't matter.
