Pros

Not many but can't say zero...

Cons

The company suffers from a failed corporate strategy and low employee morale. Jobs are increasingly being moved to lower-cost countries, and cross-functional collaboration remains inefficient. There is also an extremely limited opportunity for lower-level employees to voice concerns or advocate for meaningful change.

Pros

The pay is decent, but lower than other major energy companies. Benefits are great. Job security in technical roles is good since they are understaffed and will continue to develop their assets in the GoM. Corporate culture is fairly laid back compared to other major energy companies.

Cons

Career growth is slow unless you get on the inside track with management or are a favored minority. Processes are slow and inefficient; it's a bit stifling if you are an overachiever and want to get ahead quickly.

Pros

Good benefits, decent salary, reliable income and longevity/retirable employer if you are content with just making a paycheck

Cons

Few opportunities for advancement, assigned to a role with wrong fit after reorganization, poor work life balance due to too many lay offs and not keeping critical people (this is a safety issue in several ways), work location changed for no good reason, manager did not listen to above concerns which led me to look for a new job, ghosted during last week of work despite always having good ratings for entire time at the job (network and email access deactivated prematurely, exit interview not conducted by HR), unnecessary micro management, felt forced out despite them acting surprised when I left
