Pros

With good work ethic and some ambition, there are many opportunities to do different things and take on bigger responsibilities. You'll get slightly bigger and faster raises.

Cons

Others get away with mediocre work ethic that brings down entire groups, and management does little to nothing about it. On the other hand, don't over-exceed or you'll quickly feel the diminishing return.

Pros

Good salary and benefits, flexible work arrangements are available, though these can be limited by department. Many functions have rotational programs to allow employees to gain experience in several different areas and work on challenging projects. Lots of opportunities to work on high-profile projects, even for employees who are new or less experienced.

Cons

Opportunities for advancement can be limited, especially for those not located at major sites such as Midland, MI or Houston, TX. Morale has also been low over the past few years due to multiple strategy changes and reorganizations with layoffs. The company has lost a lot of great people over the past five years, and the current workforce is stretched way too thin, with unreasonable workloads and performance expectations.
