Pros

Worked for Baker Hughes holding multiple positions within Engineering for 25+ years. Great opportunities for advancement.

Cons

Senior leadership cycles through every 2-3 years are there are more bad ones than good ones. Layoff's every 2-3 years as well. There are lot positions created that are pointless in my opinion. Be careful as you advance to not take a position that potentially could be eliminated when oil prices drop.

Pros

Baker Hughes is a great company to work for as an engineer. The benefits and work/life balance are excellent in the CIM division. Lots of opportunity to move around to different product lines. Management cares about the development of their employees and provides opportunities to learn and grow.

Cons

Advancement had been on hold for several years. They're now promoting people again, but only a select number per year and there's a backlog.
