Pros
Big company stability; excellent pay and good benefits. Retirement of pension plus 401k is almost unheard of today, but we have it still. Flexibility is improving (though needs to improve further to attract top talent); finally understanding people today need more in the way of knowing what their future holds (i.e. career discussions, professional development, etc.). Also beginning to recognize we’re a good, ethical, responsible company and need to tell our story better. Finally starting to fully integrate and operate as one company after the Andeavor acquisition. Beginning to recognize great talent existed in both legacy companies and can take us into an even better future if we work together rather than fight to retain the worst aspects of our former selves.
Cons
HR centralization has been a culture-killer. Best thing the CHRO has done had been to push for more flexibility; everything else has been a disaster. She is toxic, clueless as to anything but her own narrative, and rules by fear. She is everything HR should not be.
