Pros

Large Multinational companies offers a diverse working environment with interaction with people from all around the world. There are tremendous opportunities to shape your own career with whatever interests you may have. The job posting system we have shows opportunities you have from around the world. You are not pigeon holed into doing the same thing for 20 years.

Cons

As a white male, it is sometimes difficult to compete for jobs/promotions against minorities. There is a strong affirmative action program here, although it is informal. There is continued negative opinion of oil companies by the consuming public. While we have done a better job in telling our side of the story, there are too many cynics in the world to believe us.

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.
