Pros

Good place for experience. Lots of good co-workers. Very diverse and woke culture. Benefits are not excellent like they used to be but are still ok. Good place to be from. Looks great on a resume.

Cons

Opportunities for promotion are limited except for the top 20% of the rank group. Forced, competitive ranking for all professionals, while system is made to look objective is remains highly subject to preferential assignment opportunities, and subjective ranking largely influenced by whether you're in favor with the ranking management. Talent, hard work, amount of work product, quality of work, are not the main determinants of success. Sadly, having the "right" corporate appearance and image carry more weight in long-term success than technical or professional skills and production. For most employees, raises are mere cost of living adjustments. The few in the top get the vast lions share of promotions and advancement. The lower half of the rank group will get virtually nothing annually and maybe a one percent raise every 18 months to two years. Notwithstanding the fact that everyone they hire is an academic and professional standout just to get hired in the first place. The company is a morale killer. Stock has not performed and has lost value for over ten years running. The company is in decline.

Pros

A chance to work large scale projects (just at a pace which will constantly require you to choose between your work and family, health and happiness)

Cons

This place has always had its problems, and then, 2020 happened. The highest levels of management literally have no idea how large segments of this industry work. See DW demanding to go in 100% on very risky Brazil acreage as an reaction to only having 50% in Guyana (a block so risky, we held for 20+ years before drilling) There is a major division between management and the people who actually do the work.

Pros

I left this company and instantly found a better job.

Cons

Terrible supervisors with no people management skills, no professional knowledge. Old outdated office, keeping distance from each other is not possible. We had to work in the office during Covid-19, although the company pretends to care about safety, but that is just total bs. Employees are micromanaged from the Houston office, and by local supervisors who have no industry related knowledge. Salary is not better than other companies, but here they want you to be available any time, day or night. Fake annual review, dishonest, unethical company. Supervisors have no idea what the job of their team members consists of. Long time employees complain about their jobs and salaries continuously, but are too afraid to leave and start something new. I left and found a better job within a week. I worked here for two and a half years, but I wanted to quit already after just 10 months of employment. It took only 10 months to realize what a bad place this was.
