Pros

Co-workers are wonderful; a nice casual environment.

Cons

Poor upper management. Lots of confusion; an absence of proper planning. It's like working an on-call job; you never know what needs to be done when, but you need to be ready for action at a moment's notice. Stressful.

Was once a great to company to work for

Pros

Good pay if you work on their North Slope operations or in senior management. There are some incredible managers who are committed to supporting and mentoring the employees who report to them - unfortunately there are fewer and fewer of these around. Some positions are given the opportunity to telecommute.

Cons

Benefits are not the best - especially PTO and Health Insurance. Compensation is all over the board - based more on who you know then on how well you perform - and I say this as a employee who benefited by knowing the right people so I was paid more than my peers for the same job, time on job, and quality of work. The current senior management team has forgotten what made this company great - the employees - and instead concentrate on making decisions that benefit the management team and not the employees (and thus not the company).
