High stress environment, no job security, layoffs are frequent and completely random. - Geology WPX Energy Employee Review

2-3 major layoffs per year since 2014. Some of the absolute best and brightest have been slashed out for no reason and with no transition period, leaving those left to scramble and recover. High stress environment. Managers favor cheap, inexperienced new employees and send older employees out to pasture. Major favoritism and nepotism evident. Too many executive changes too quickly and no promotion from within muddied the waters.
