Pros

Flexible work schedule, safety-minded, clean working environment, climate control.

Cons

It has outdated equipment; bonuses are rare and based on the entire company's performance, small raises, and no encouragement to move up the company ladder. There is lots of gossip and snakes on the grass. Direct management has its hands tied behind its back when it comes to making updates or changes in procedures or just making the job easier. You are hired as a contract-based worker and not hired directly by the company. It can take 4 months up to a year and a half before they decide to hire you or not. During that time, you don't get any holiday, sick, vacation, or personal time off. Nor will you receive any benefits until they decide to hire you.

Pros

- insurance coverage (but poor and covers only basic examinations); - good people in the team, and kind direct manager; - hybrid work (home/office)

Cons

- non-competitive salary; - after covid and O&G market crisis in 2020 - lot's of people were fired. Even though market stabilized and there are more businesses ongoing= lot's of load and work - management team is refusing to hire new employees, and just trying to redistribute the load among "survivors" . Which is disappointing, because people are not robots, and such pressure and over-load affects mental & physical health . I see only ignorance from that company towards employees. - too much "bureaucratic" systems & processes. It's okay to have good judgement and ensure appropriate approvals are in place for all activities involving material responsibility. But it's not okay to overcomplicate basic daily routine, create new policies that contradict to each other, create bunch of new apps and reports that doesn't speak to each other. - still operates in russia
