Pros

Work Life Balance, they care about their employees, good not great compensation. Good 1st level leadership,. Overall good company, great company to start career and great company to finish career, not very good to spend your prime.

Cons

Horrible and worthless HR, extremely political and Bureaucratic, horrible upper level management, no direction or strategy. , emphasizes commercial roles instead of technology / engineering roles. You have a commercial person running an energy company that does not understand how oil and gas are produced. Wont pay their employees the market. Does not focus on technology, engineering, or innovation.

Pros

it is a company that moves very quickly. You can see the end of projects, instead of being held up in process

Cons

The fast pace of the company, can be very knee - jerk, leading to the current CEO's whims of change. Creates a very unstable place to work

Pros

Every other friday off Free lunch Great colleagues Nice management The Share scheme and pension plan Emphasis on work life balance Being able to take time off whenever you want as long as you get the work done. Really friendly people who will take the time to help and support you when you need it. A large organisation means that you'll always find someone who has good advice on the work that you're doing.

Cons

Bureaucracy (they are working on this but we'll see if it works out) Over analysis of issues instead of just going and doing it!
