Pros

Well funded Lean organization Good location in Galleria (on Post Oak) Staff want to get the job done Lots of scope Salaries & bonuses generally strong

Cons

GoM focused, have not been able to expand outside here (5 years on, still trying) Seeking "perfect deal" - HIGHLY risk averse NO work-life balance, company owns your soul, body and your weekends Massive amounts of Exxon-like PROCESS and uber-control. Sole decision-maker in the room is CEO. Can't make decisions without every i dotted, t crossed and 10 decimal places to every figure. Petroleum division is a small part of what is really a mining company (v. different drivers compared to oil & gas)

Pros

Some good co-workers and good challenges

Cons

Leadership in the Tucson office is highly political and unprofessional. Feedback is not given directly. Local leadership is more interested in Linkedin posting and image, rather than anything of substance.
