A US company confused as to whether they like the UK or not - Anonymous employee Phillips 66 Employee Review

Management is questionable at best, they just have no clue how to recognise and reward talent. It's one of those places where if you're 'catch of the day' with the boss you're in for that promotion, not because you're the best one for the job. Extremely little opportunity for progression unless you're in higher positions or on the graduate scheme. No autonomy encouraged. US owned and extremely regulated. Impossible to get any changes though without years of red tape and it going through the States. The Americans don't get the Brits ways of working. For example open plan offices are alien to them.
