Pros

They order a lot of food - nice co-workers

Cons

Management over the accounting department is really horrible! I use the word "management" quite loosely! Most of the accounting department has quit one-by-one because of this poor management. Upper management obviously doesn't care. Two thumbs down to this company for their lack of care and leadership with the accounting team!

Pros

I learned a lot about their standards and how to complete Shell and TI projects. It was very easy to ask questions and have conversations with other employees.

Cons

There is a lot of turnover. Not the company's fault.

Pros

Large company but each office has its own small company family feel. What you put into your job is what you get out of it, there is no cap for level or opportunity here. Leadership has an extensive initiative program that implements employee driven ideas to make the company better. The culture they sell is exactly what you get. They really value the employee through a coaching/mentor program, team building, whole company Christmas party, etc.

Cons

The bonuses are low but are offset by higher salaries. You make your own path so if you dont have personal drive you may get left behind.
