Pros

Salaries and benefits are great for an operator. Bonuses good for senior leadership band.

Cons

This company is far from resolving it's cultural issues. The company is full of micro culture, inefficiency, administrative burden and lacks focus. Don't let the money fool you. I expect the company will be purchased once the gulf spill liability is clear. This company hires from the outside but doesn't leverage external talent. HR is especially unprofessional.

Pros

- A lot of opportunity to gain experience in different countries - Very focused on providing a good employment package - Able to work on cutting edge technology and new interesting processes - Very smart people that work there

Cons

- Management style is very 1900's. It is very hierarchical. It was the first and only place where I heard a statement like - "When you talk to someone at my level" - Managers are not well trained. They are trained in BP procedures, not how to lead people - Communication to employees is awful. - There is a false focus on safety. At every meeting there was a "safety moment", but it was almost used as a way to avoid dealing with real issues
