Pros

Honestly, none worth mentioning. The only “positive” is that you’ll quickly learn how not to treat people or run a company.

Cons

Toxic management culture: Leadership thrives on backstabbing, blame, and favoritism. Titles matter more than talent or ethics — whoever has the higher rank is always “right.” • No respect for employees: People are treated as disposable resources, not humans. Management shows zero compassion or decency. • Unethical HR practices: HR instructs managers not to give anyone a perfect rating just to deny raises and bonuses. • Low pay and terrible benefits: Compensation is at the bottom of the industry and the health insurance is the worst I’ve ever had. • No work-life balance: Expect late-night meetings, constant pressure, and to carry your laptop on vacation. Even when you’re off, you’re not truly off. • Hostile culture: They value those who “suck up” over those who work hard or act with integrity. • No career growth: Forget development, mentorship, or advancement — the company rewards compliance, not competence. • Unfair treatment: I was terminated without cause after years of top performance, losing both my severance and bonus.

Pros

- Growth industry: lots of business right now for the energy sector that will continue to increase as demands for energy significantly rise, due to new driving forces in the economy such as AI - Some friendly faces around the office who can be trusted & are happy to help people who are struggling - Renewed focus on the company's continuous improvement program allows for suggestions & inefficiencies in engineering workflows to be taken seriously & addressed--but only if these are communicated with the right words to the right people

Cons

- Not a family friendly environment--bad language, harsh attitudes, short tempers, and impatience from others leads to intimidation rather than healthy teamwork - High pressure environment can have a crippling effect on work/life balance, especially as more projects are added to one's workload - "Corporate ladder" climbing is implicitly expected--can be a pro or con depending on how you view this - Pervasive belief that time spent = knowledge and experience gained by osmosis, without continued intentional training efforts from others. Many unspoken things you have to unfairly "just know" - Time spent on training and asking for help from your peers are both frowned upon, despite well-meaning corporate directives to actually do so, leading to serious knowledge gaps that will come back to haunt you when you least expect it - Judgmental & unforgiving atmosphere--much energy must be exerted looking good outwardly. Adopting managerial "corporate speak" amidst your engineering skillset is vital to long-term survival here

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’re pleased to hear that you’ve recognized the growth opportunities within the energy sector, as well as our ongoing focus on continuous improvement and collaboration across teams. We do, however, respectfully disagree with your characterization of our workplace culture. Our company is committed to maintaining a professional, inclusive, and respectful environment for all employees. We have clear policies and expectations around communication, behavior, and teamwork, and we take these very seriously. Instances of unprofessional conduct are not tolerated, and we encourage any employee who experiences or observes such behavior to report it so it can be addressed appropriately. While our industry can indeed be fast-paced and demanding, we continually strive to balance performance expectations with employee well-being. Training, collaboration, and open communication are priorities for our leadership team, and we are actively investing in initiatives to strengthen mentorship, onboarding, and knowledge-sharing across departments. We value your feedback, as it helps us identify where we can continue to improve. Thank you again for sharing your experience and for contributing to the ongoing conversation about how we can make our company an even better place to work.
