Great place to work

Pros

Great career opportunities and pay/benefit packages (especially the longer you stay). The culture differs slightly in different businesses but is overall favorable. I truly respect the company's values (Honesty, Integrity, Respect for People) and have found very few times in my career where these values are not followed.

Cons

Slow decision-making and consensus culture. Has changed somewhat during my tenure but still needs improvement. Work quite a few hours but have flexibility to manage home life.

Pros

Corporation worth considering when choosing consiously this type of company: - good career opportunities, people development - work-life well balanced - CI mindset

Cons

Some people may think they would need to compromise their values working for an oil company. (however focus on sustainable development today is a must). Cumbersome decision making process.
