      Pros

      Wide scope of operations (geographically and industry wise) Great atmosphere to work Opportunities to develop different skills in different jobs. Culturally and country diverse. There are great efforts to ensure everybody feels integrated.

      Cons

      Job security and stability. Every 3-4 years need to find a role within organisation and sometimes the process can be a bit messy. Lack of structured approach to manage staff career creates an excessive dependency on networking (which might be a challenge for some employees).

      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.

      Pros

      -Top tier fuel -Premium brand awareness among consumers -Private company I worked for is family owned. The family really cares about their employees.

      Cons

      Fast paced business with razor thin margins. Always have to watch your staff and vendors. All the regulations with the federal, state, and local government are difficult to keep up with and expensive.
