Cool products, but not a good place to work.

Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting products. Seemingly good reputation with customers.

Cons

Low morale, painfully poor communication within the organization, culture of keeping employees as contractors rather than bringing people on full-time, inconsistent treatment of one employee vs. another (poor or non-existent HR protocols), departments do not work together as a team, but instead work against each other, culture of HUGE egos that get in the way of productivity, etc.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very relaxed, no after hours work, no urgent requests, decent pay, overall pleasant people to work with,

Cons

Weak leadership. The corporate executives do not have a clue what they are doing. The company is run like a small mom and pop shop. Its all about who you know, New industry process are not welcome as they want to continue doing things the same old stagnant way they've been doing them. Long standing relationships prevent any type of change within the organization.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great training program if you get a supervisor that helps you learn. Opportunity to receive bonuses for safety. Its a interesting job. It was nice to have a 2-3 week rotation.

Cons

The Good 'Ol Boy System is alive and well in Oceaneering. If your not prior Navy or from Louisiana your considered a outcast. this also causes problems when the good ol boys at the yard send broken or wrong equipment to the guys out on the rigs. And you needed the equipment yesterday. and the client is down your neck. Their Strong Safety culture falls short as soon as oil prices fall short or on a strict time constraint. Your job isn't guaranteed if oil prices fall. If your part of the good ol boy crew you'll be last to laid off. low pay considering what other rov companies pay out there. But they are the biggest and hire the most.
