Nice people, general sense of doing good for the environment, pay can be decent if you negotiate your salary, Lots of overtime, per diem
Cons
Lots of travel, now that they are public the bottom line is everything. No stock purchasing, no bonuses, okay benefits. The difficulty and intelligence required of the work is not displayed in your salary.

Prior to our company's acquisition with MEG/Onterris, the company had a strong culture, supportive leadership, and employees who genuinely cared about one another and the success of the business.
Cons
If your company has been acquired, pay close attention to employee reviews and take them seriously. I did, and many of the concerns raised turned out to be accurate.
Employees were repeatedly assured that the acquisition would create new opportunities and that jobs were secure. In my experience, that was not the reality. Long-tenured employees were gradually pushed out while similar positions were later reposted with modified titles or responsibilities. The former ownership ultimately lost control of decisions despite assurances that little would change. Employees with years of institutional knowledge spent years implementing new procedures, documenting procedures, learning the new system, and navigating disorganized Workday implementations with minimal support. Much of the guidance consisted of being directed to read instructions on the intranet. If you are in a finance position they will let you go! They will tell you they want it all centralized in Arkansas but that's not true, there are plenty of people working remote but you will be pushed out no matter how long you've been with your company. This not only affected me but our entire team was wiped out. They didn't give us a heads up in advance to look for anything for 2 years we were told everyone was safe and I believed them. Keep an eye out for the constant restructuring of upper management as well.

Thank you for a decade of contribution, and for sharing this so candidly. Change of this scale asks a lot of trust from employees, and we recognize that. We take feedback like yours seriously as we work to communicate more clearly through transitions and support the people navigating them. We'd genuinely value hearing more directly please contact our HR team at HRCorp@onterris.com so we can listen fully.
