Pros

Decent basic salary, good bonus and stock option program, generous healthcare coverage. Parking and transportation paid by the company. Sexy place to start your career and after 2 years look for something better. The company have the advantage of the Europe energy crisis at this moment

Cons

There is not flexibility at all for employees, no WFH or hybrid work policies. That is a discretion of your managers and that is a lie. It is expected for you to be 100% of the time at your desk. If you have personal issues to solve you have to use a day of your vacation, but it is expected that you answer emails and attend online meetings during you vacation time. They talk about safety but it is expected you should up to work after 3 or 4 hour drive, or do a 3 hour round trip (each way) the same day, you must show to work the day after a long haul job related flight and jet lag, not considering accidents can happen. There isn’t a Journey Management policy in place. They do not listen to the voice of the employee, and they do not consider this type of feedback. There is not development opportunities for employees and to get a promotion you have to be member of the CKC, Cool Kids Club. Leadership and the new HR administration are focused on numbers, they do not understand that it is about people, about creating a sustaining a culture. The company is starting to lose good people, that is not healthy turn over, that is a loss There is not trust

Cons

Cheniere Energy holds a strong presence in the LNG market, with operations that are central to U.S. energy exports. However, behind the company’s market success lies an internal culture—particularly within gas scheduling—that is marked by serious dysfunction and mismanagement. The gas scheduling team operates in a high-pressure environment made worse by toxic leadership. Management is often aggressive and confrontational rather than constructive, creating a culture of fear rather than collaboration. Constructive feedback is rare; instead, blame-shifting and public criticism are common. Leadership routinely demonstrates poor communication skills and a lack of understanding of day-to-day scheduling challenges. Favoritism is another consistent issue—certain individuals are given latitude to underperform or behave unprofessionally while others are held to inconsistent standards. This uneven accountability erodes team morale and discourages excellence. Work-life balance is practically nonexistent. Long hours are expected, with little regard for personal boundaries, and there is a pervasive culture of guilt associated with using PTO or prioritizing life outside of work. Burnout is common, and there is little to no support from management in mitigating it. As a result, turnover is high. Talented individuals either leave voluntarily or are quietly pushed out. New hires often arrive unprepared and unsupported, which further exacerbates the operational strain. Within the industry, Cheniere is increasingly seen as a revolving door for schedulers, and its reputation among professionals has suffered accordingly. In summary, while Cheniere’s external brand reflects success and market strength, the internal experience for gas scheduling professionals tells a very different story—one defined by poor leadership, favoritism, toxic culture, a lack of work-life balance, and unsustainable turnover. Candidates considering this role should proceed with caution and be prepared for a challenging and often thankless environment.
