Pros

I had health insurance and dental

Cons

No chance of growth or advancement (despite management saying it will happen). Toxic work environment with sexist people in charge. Management is lazy and cuts corners. Safety is not a priority despite the company boasting that it is. Performed bad science-data was made up frequently.

Pros

Lots of potential to work on different projects and tasks

Cons

All raises and career advancement has little to do with your actual work, much more on who you know and who you suck up to.

Pros

With the acquisition of Amec Foster Wheeler, it is a huge, international company on every corner of the globe. Lower/Mid-level managers have been superb. The Amec Foster Wheeler management was engaged and cared about safety and employees even as the industry's economic environment deteriorated.

Cons

Wood Group does not seem to understand what they bought in Amec Foster Wheeler and are making redundant/outsourcing their technology services. The brain drain has hurt, and many have doubts we can deliver the anywhere near the level our customers have come to expect before the acquisition. No raises some years, tiny bonuses for top employees, under-market salaries, no money for training. Huge and non-surgical layoffs and the technology talent is already gone or leaving. Industry and company are struggling due to low oil/gas prices.
