Pros

The smaller office I worked in really made it feel like a small company with big company resources. The team was great and really tried to create a fun culture

Cons

Too many tiers of management and the ExxonMobil focus really holds people back from technical development. You end up feeling more like an LPS steward than a scientist.

Pros

It's generally a good place to work. There is a wide variety of work opportunities and a fair potential to advance. Upper management seems to have the company on the right financial track. Very little internal politics and a general sense that everyone is pulling together. Good benefits and transparent financials.

Cons

Dealing with the bureacracy and navigating through the multiple layers of enterprise architecture. For example, the behavioral 'safety system' requires a slavish, brainwashed, zombie-like adherence to dogma. It borders on messianic/creepy and is viewed as childish and belittling by more than a few staff. There are also client-centric subcultures within the company that can have dramatically different approaches to work/life balance. Hubris and and a callous, misguided elitism are endemic in these pockets - Pride cometh before the fall.

It is a miserable place to be associated with.

Pros

Projects were interesting due to being a larger firm.

Cons

Management was unprofessional, and lacked a connection with the employees. Observed numerous occassions in which staff were humiliated by management in front of fellow colleagues. I won't say what office this was in, but will say it was the Central California Valley Region.
