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.

Pros

There are many diverse roles and opportunities within the company, which can make it easier to explore different career paths and avoid feeling stuck or bored.

Cons

Company lacks clear direction and has significant internal disorganization. Employees are often expected to take on multiple roles without appropriate compensation or support. Despite consistently being a high performer, I left feeling undervalued — after covering two roles, there wasn’t even a simple thank you upon departure. To make matters worse, eight months after leaving, they are now claiming I owe over $5,000 in PTO that had previously been considered settled at the time of my exit. Overall, the experience left a very negative impression and highlighted serious internal process issues.
