Pros

Competitive Pay Bonuses EVERY year Good stock purchase program Diverse workforce Safety Focused (mostly in the office) Decent Benefits 9/80 Work Schedule

Cons

They rank/compare you to your peers all over the world (how you fare vs everyone else determines your bonus and their view of your current estimated potential). HR is a joke and they don't have diverse upper level managers. They talk about safety in the workplace a lot, but there are operations going on where people get shot at... But when that happens they keep it on the hush and don't protect people. And I've had to work on almost every Friday off with no substitutions (counted as a loss on my end).

Too often, the best leave, the mediocre stay

Pros

- flat, not heirarchical organization - good pay - overall nice environment, lots of young people - international (your extended team includes people from all over the world, more often than not) - focus on safety - work life balance is OK, you rarely need to work more than 9h a day, and work hours are flexible

Cons

- intern rotation (hard to get a contract once you've completed your internship) - bureaucratic - little attention to employees, little feedback on performance or directions - little information circulating
