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

Pros

1. Strong compensation and benefits 2. Good brand recognition in the industry 3. Talented individual contributors

Cons

1. Serious leadership issues at the mid-management level 2. Extremely high turnover within certain teams (approximately 30% of employees lost in my group within one year) 3. Poor employee survey results with little to no visible accountability or corrective action 4. Culture of fear rather than trust—employees felt uncomfortable speaking up, and some openly feared retaliation 5. Problematic managers were widely known internally, yet remained in place
