Pros

Apache's compensation to employees is above average among competitors. Management structure is flat, because there are only few opportunities for management, technical experts are really well compensated. Best bonus structure I have seen. For an employee ~15 years of experience expect close to 100% bonus (including stock options). Apache has a gym, a daycare (outside operated) and cafeteria on site.

Cons

Upper management listened too much to Wall Street, putting too much money in unconventionals, and now it's paying the price. Not many upward mobility opportunities for women or minorities, basically a white male dominated company. Offer more training for experienced employees, not only for new hires.

Pros

Lots of work and growth because they go through multiple rounds of lays a year. So you get the "privilege" of filling their gaps

Cons

The 3 years I was there, they went through 4 rounds of lay offs. Management will tell you how great of a worker you are and how far you will go and then kick you to the curb once their vacation houses are put into jeopardy.
