Pros

I’ve had a great 20+ year career with EM, past tense. Worked hard, never a true favorite with a sponsor but added value and been useful. Always treated fairly, never had a reason to complain until now

Cons

New assessment process is a beauty contest and will create toxic behavior of even more yes men/women especially since everyone is frightened to be pushed out under current circumstances. Everything hinges on how well you are liked by your direct manager, not what you deliver. The pressure is intense and moral very low, not a pleasant working environment. If you speak up or complain you will be bottom of the next assessment process and that’s the end....you decide.

Pros

Rotational assignments ->opportunities for learning Gym on campus

Cons

Forced ranking system is really based on "who you know" vs. your real achievements No influence on what job/rotation you'll get next No real opportunities to work overseas - everything is pretty much in Houston now Culture is of managing upward; no real trust between employees and supervisors

Pros

Excellent benefits, competitive salary, recognized industry leader (if you care about that sort of thing), potential for rapid career development, variety of job roles and responsibilities. Relatively self-driven and autonomous work.

Cons

You get paid well, but it's hardly worth it for all the hours you are expected to put in. Work-life balance is a joke. Hardly any time for actual engineering because so many auxiliary responsibilities are heaped on you. Backwards minded approach to financial security prevents them being technologically competitive. Layers of red tape to affect even small changes. Often competing priorities and interests obscure a clear vision of the work that needs to be done.
