Pros
Free beer, free food, great office, free parking, good location. used to be a really fun place to work.
Cons
CEO knows nothing about oil production, well operations, or well optimization or the industry, at all. He can't even tell a PCP from an ESP, or how a rod pump works. He sure does try to compensate for it. All he does is talk talk talk, and is so self absorbed that he doesn't even notice when he looks stupid while trying really hard to sound soo smart. Talk about insecure and paranoid, he checks our emails and watches what you do like a hawk. At the same time always pushing how great he is, how he is a super(man) CEO with great ideas and lots of talk. I think he thinks the people are too stupid to notice. Any new management fad is the topic of the week, just don't forget to set your timer. Talk about crazy hiring and firing since he pushed out the last guy (and that was weird too). I can't wait until we start doing "family termination sessions" to follow "family interviews". If I get "incredibly good looking people " to join the company I'll get a $1000 bonus. Its pretty clear that superficial appearance now defines who we need to be to succeed and defines our new culture. I don't think I'm that good looking, and I'm obviously not part of the in crowd, so I'd better start looking for a new job. Word of caution, if you have a different opinion, hell intimidate or pressure you to confess or use examples of previously fired employees to threaten with lawyers, so pay attention and better do what your told. FYI your company email is NOT private. Hey, he told us to post on Glassdoor, so here it is. Check out the entries from June and July, they are exactly like the propaganda hes feeding us weekly, great writing by him or on his orders. I don't know where the company is going, but I know Im on my way out, just biding my time. I wonder how the new hires feel, have they noticed that what they are sold on and what the reality is not the same?
