Pros

I was very well compensated, benefits were amazing.

Cons

You are basically just a number here. Training was terrible to non existent on both occasions working for them. I was literally asked if I knew any women who had a degree and could do the job because they needed to hire more women. I do not have a problem with women in the workplace and I guess we all know companies try to hit a quota but, keep that discreet at least. I lost my first job here during the down turn in 2008 and lost my second job here during the downturn in 2015, I know they need to make cuts but this has put a very bitter taste in my mouth. If you are a new grad looking for employment do not get sucked in by the high salaries, once you have a family established you do not want to be let go every time there is a downturn in the oil industry. For seasoned Oil & Gas professionals, you know what you're in for.

Pros

* Strong brand recognition and opportunity to work on large-scale marketing initiatives. * Exposure to technical subject matter and cross-functional collaboration. * Good place to learn how large enterprise organizations operate.

Cons

I joined in a hybrid role where flexibility was an important factor in accepting the position and making personal life decisions. Within about a year, the organization moved to a full return-to-office model. While companies can change workplace policies, the transition felt abrupt and inconsistent in practice. A recurring challenge was that expectations around in-office presence did not always appear to match day-to-day reality. Remote participation still occurred for meetings and operational needs, which created confusion around when flexibility was acceptable and when it was not. Within my department, I also experienced challenges around communication and collaboration. Feedback on projects sometimes arrived late or only after priorities had shifted, and in some cases work was reassigned or substantially changed without clear involvement from the original contributor. Public criticism of work product without prior coaching made it difficult to improve or feel ownership over deliverables. Leadership communication during organizational changes often felt more focused on compliance than employee concerns. Employees raising questions about work arrangements sometimes perceived limited space for open discussion. Over time, the combination of reduced flexibility, inconsistent application of expectations, and limited recognition of specialized contributions negatively affected morale and trust.
