Pros

It still has a great small company feel to it even though it is a 30 billion dollar company. Management takes care of it's people like they were family. They still give out a Christmas bonus to every single employee in the company. We are all part of the family

Cons

Can't ever get more than 4 weeks of vacation if you come in from another company. No credit for past years of experience causes you to have to work 20 years with Devon to get 5 weeks. Sadly I'll be 72 when that happens.

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
