Wonderful place to be exposed to lots of technical areas fast. A "learning organization".

Reservoir engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of good training. Excellent presentations on multiple technical projects. Lots of diverse projects to get involved in.

Cons

Being seen in best political light is very important. Company is not always fair in handling promotions / layoffs. Good work, performance are not always rewarded; politics are more important. Probably a good place to stay for a few years before moving on, for most people. Too big and impersonal.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Lots of training opportunities (courses etc) - Lots of career opportunities if you actively seek it

Cons

- Lots of office politics - Not much of a diversity (graduates mostly come from the same school/alumni for particular subsurface disciplines) - Team results not important, individual performance is, so people tend to go for maximum visibility work, not necessarily focusing on their technical work
