Pros

Large range of opportunities due to the scale of the company. Varied roles and a good internal job posting and aplication system. Olympic swimming pool in the basement,

Cons

Sometimes too big a company. Felt a little impersonal. A lot of stigma attached to the company and high regard held to those who had operated in difficult/unpopular/controversial country assignments. A lot of lip service paid to 'going green' but few significant moves within the business.

Pros

Competitive pay and emphasis on employee safety (especially the assistance provided during natural disasters which includes housing assistance, check-ins with managers, etc.).

Cons

Work/life balance depends on manager (mine is positive experience, but others not as much), international opportunities not as prevalent in downstream.

Pros

Great company to work for, goes above and beyond for it's employees. Good opportunities to move up and around within the company.

Cons

Extremely large company, it can feel like you get lost in the crowd. Only US opportunities are in Houston, Texas.
