Pros

3 weeks vacation fist year, $2 lunch, 9/80 schedule. CEO appears to be open and ready to change the old culture.

Cons

Very few true promotions besides upper management, lots of lateral moves to give false hope. Lack of transparency, unequal pay, and no clear way to grow unless you're on the right side of the politics. Unclear long term plan for employees, not much communication from management regarding real opportunities-- lots of talk very little action. Work place politics are everywhere, but never experience what has fomented at Bhp. Verbalizing frustrations regarding job functions, pay, or processes are still discouraged, ( even though efforts to change this have been expressed by new CEO and President). Lots of closed door conversations. Lots of petty tattle tailing and CYA culture instead of open discussions and working as a team. Lastly, there are so many processes and procedures that by the time the project is over the wheel has been reinvented 100x.

Pros

cafeteria ($2, really good food, nice salad bar) safety culture (seem to really want to make sure a dangerous business is not un-safe) good computing resources (16GB on a windows machine) insurance and bonuses are pretty good

Cons

massive turnover (90+% of Petrohawk employees left of their own accord), BHP ppl are leaving too people are not very happy (BHP ppl in general), few smile or say "hello" horrible network and computer performance due to monitoring software and other issues processes are neither simple or efficient like former CEO Kloppers liked to say they were functional excellence model is an excuse to not hire the number of employees needed to do the work required too many approvals needed to get anything done regardless of cost or impact to the organization I don't think BHP understood the onshore e&p business, thought it would be like offshore or another mining division poor work-life balance
