A place where brown nose'ing will get you to the top

Procurement specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lower level employees are committed to the success. They are not always supported by management. You learn how to play the game and is a great stepping stone.

Cons

You will only progress if you network and know the right people. HR perception of you ability supercedes you achievements and actual performance.

Generally a good place to work, with its frustrations

Finance manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Global, diversified company with opportunities for a varied and international career. Strong focus on safety and communities. Generally competitive compensation.

Cons

Complex and overly bureaucratic, frustrating the ability to get things done. Little penalty for failure, meaning that poor quality work continues - focus on communications over genuine results. Limited HR competence, even by the standards of multinationals.

Strong Potential, but Constant Restructuring Undercuts Trust

Principal engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company genuinely tries to do the right thing and positions itself as a leader in its field. Many talented, smart people across the business who care about their work. When things align, the culture can feel forward-looking and full of potential.

Cons

Frequent restructures and ongoing budget cuts create a sense of instability. Senior leadership often feels disconnected from day-to-day operations; many come from consulting or academic backgrounds but haven’t experienced the realities on the ground. Communication from managers can be vague or inconsistent, which makes it hard to build trust. The company talks a lot about supporting employees, but the uncertainty makes that message difficult to believe in practice.
