Great Job Oportunities

Recommend

Pros

Huge organisation with many business streams. Many job opportunities to grow even in times of low oil price. The company is used to virtual working and work from home which gives accountability to a wider reach in terms of country and processes.

Cons

Low oil price for a longer period of time will limit the opportunities and put more pressure on staff competition.

Pros

I had worked in their shared services centre in south east Asia. Given an opportunity, I would be happy to go work for them again. The reasons are: 1) A value driven company. Everyone is equally respected. 2) A strong safety culture. They focus on employee safety all the time. Even managers and colleagues demonstrate this caring outlook. 3) DIversity and Inclusion. A lot of support to employee networks to celebrate their unique differences. It is not a melting pot culture. You are accepted with your identity and culture.

Cons

As much as I love the organization, there are few areas that we can do better: 1) Being more open to ideas by the existing employees to the newly joined. To think beyond "shell ways of working" and being more receptive to ideas for improvement. 2) There is a lot of focus on using internal training programs to develop employees. I believe that we can send employees out for external training.

Pros

4 years window assignments, so staffs can rotate and compete for new jobs and possibly promotions. Vast resources of very smart people albeit academically. Still on high gear for continuous improvement.

Cons

HR are never useful. Lack of compassion and agility. Management are full of charade to survive. Not so great performance review process and constantly reorganising that appears like a headless chicken. Silly cost cutting exercises instead of tackling the problem given the vast smart people at disposal to be creative.
