Pros

The best reasons to work for them are the world class assets they have in their portfolio and the financial might they wield. Pay and benefits is competitive and pension is first class. The new Houston campus is amazing but it is 25 mikes north of the city.

Cons

Downsides of working for this company are that no matter what they say financial results are more important than anything. People are not their most important asset even if they say that. In the current market environment (3Q 2015) they are taking the scalpel to staff. You will not hear about mass layoffs but the bottom 10% and those who have suggested near term retirement are being showed the door. Most contract staff has or will be let go as well. Forced ranking is an archaic method to evaluate people and unfairly allows the coasters at the top to keep coasting and the workers everywhere else to suffer. Pay is pegged to rank. It is still an old boys network and a new girls network is being started.
