A meat grinder of internal competition, long hours and clueless management

Research geophysicist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay and bonus structure. Benefits are good. They run it a bit like a startup, with lots of food, gym on site, and valet services for things like running errands, shopping, car washes, etc.

Cons

Very competitive. Regional offices are pitted against each other. Not a collaborative research environment. Long hours are expected to be put in. Researchers are not necessarily required to have knowledge of geophysics, but if you can write code you are automatically a "researcher". Senior management has no strategy or vision for how to develop technology. They rely on the fact they can throw lots of people at a problem and churn out results quickly rather than focusing on quality and what can differentiate them in the long run.

Management run people off, don't care, have no clue

Senior geophysicist

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Ok if you are brand new to processing

Cons

Management are clueless - have no idea what is going on or how people feel. Horrible culture. Management only care about themselves. Overall not worth sticking around. Free food and activities don't make up for lack of leadership.

Pros

.near China town, easy to find cheap food near the office

Cons

.load of work, usually people work more than 10 hours a day plus weekends. .old East Germany spy network, someone is watching every move you make. eg. number of washing breaks, how long was daily lunch break you take and when did you come to and leave from work etc. You get rewarded for reporting someone who is late for work. .Houston version of Foxconn.
