Pros

First Level management and supervision are generally good. Most colleagues are good to work with and the overall environment is good. The rotational engineer program is top notch and it is a good place to get your career started. However, you may find yourself feeling like a change at the 3-5yr mark.

Cons

Mid-level management is out of touch with the engineering grunts getting things done. They do not take enough input from their 1st line management and make too many bad decisions based on metrics alone. These metrics may or may not be accurate at the time important decisions are made. These metrics lack the sophistication needed to accurately reflect the dynamics of change constantly imposed upon the engineering staff and as a result give improper representation of performance. Even worse, these middle level managers don't seem very interested in ensuring the accuracy of these metrics. Nor do they seem interested in getting out and meeting the actual grunts doing the work. Perhaps it is easier on the conscience to manage based on improper metrics if they have no knowledge of whom they are impacting with these poor decisions.

Pros

-great opportunities for advancement -great benefits (401k match dollar for dollar up to 5%, plus they give you another 4% on top of that. medical, dental, vision, all there. and GREAT for expecting parents, especially mother's. the leave of absence for having a child even extends to adoption!) -great atmosphere around other great people who all work hard towards a common goal. -the location is convenient and awesome. we have a carwash company that will wash your car while you work, 2 cafes and starbucks, a gym, a parking garage, great security, and a walking path that wraps around the facility. -they have a great educational reimbursement program so that you can go to school and work (as long as you are pursuing something that benefits the company, obviously) -you will start with 15 days of paid vacation, and gain more as you work for the company longer. also, you can roll over 10 days in to the next year if you don't use them.

Cons

-it's part of the oil and gas industry, so there is always an imminent threat of layoffs -sometimes there is room for process improvement when it involves pay, as far as how and when you'll be eligible for a raise (for some positions, mine included)
