Pros

Very friendly bunch of people, great benefits. Had a couple of outings for team building. Got to do a lot of stuff I liked working on.

Cons

They are a oil company so they are hot on Health and Safety. However... in an office where the worst that might happen is a paper cut? They seemed obsessed by H&S to the point where you had to make reports on the most trivial of things. Every employee that drives a car to work is expected to take part in a driving scheme... to promote safety on the roads?
