Pros

A collaborative environment where the majority of people want to help. Lots of international & racial diversity which can be seen in their approach to problem solving. A lot of company benefits that one could take advantage of such as Hinge or Omada virtual health. Plenty of community service activities.

Cons

This is a company with no work-life balance. Lives up to the reputation of consuming people and discarding them like trash. Boundaries are constantly violated. Majority of people have had heart attacks and other serious stress induced life threatening illnesses as a result. Constant layoffs despite performance has the employee morale low. People work extremely hard based out of fear and fear is the main fact of why they're still there. You also find the usual discrimination that you find at any corporate American oil and gas service company.
