      Pros

      There are great, dedicated people who work for the company and are supportive to each other. There is a lot of work to be done, and a lot of hard working people doing that work.

      Cons

      The company has struggled in the current financial environment in their industry and has had to make difficult decisions that have affected some of the great people that work for the company and have made the working environment hard on the good people that are left.

      Pros

      During high commodity prices the company was investing a lot in new projects; was very acquisitive. That created a lot of interesting work. Business class flights. Lots of perks etc.

      Cons

      Company's management is very short-termist: when the commodity prices are high it splashes cash around, hires excessively, creates a lot of overhead. When the price turn down it fires people (good and bad) fratically, delays long-term project under construction (which makes them more expensive. Not rigorous enough when assessing M&A opportunities. Overpaid for a number of assets No career planning. You get no help with developing your career.
