Pros

lots of training, people are nice, lots of opportunities

Cons

internal software is frustrating, company is too big to make improvements and senior people say they support you and go talk to X, Y, and Z. Then X, Y, and Z will say "that's a good idea, it's important, I understand, but it's low priority". Even if it can save them millions.

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunity to work in a high-tech environment with exposure to emerging technologies, social issues, and multiple cultures.

Cons

More of an investment bank than an oil company. Science and engineering are subordinated to financial wants. Training focussed on developing those who want to be a polished, powdered courtiers. Innovation and creative thinking encouraged so long as it conforms to a global standard that everyone agrees on, and fits within the bureaucracy. Recruit,recognize and promotes attractive,clever and tractable people. Actively discourages passionate, focussed problem solvers.
