Pros

Allows employees to grow and learn not just their jobs, but the whole company's goals. It has less controversies compared to competitors.

Cons

The work does take over some of your personal time, but with the Oil and Gas industry, what company doesn't?

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
