Pros

Benefits and compensation above average in the marketplace For technical functions, there's room to grow and learn. Best place to be is Houston, TX, as the company is shifting its corporate presence there.

Cons

No work-life balance Constant reorganization and change The only division that is respected is Exploration and Production. If you're in one of the other divisions, you work in daily fear of downsizing and divestment.

Pros

Benefits are better than most companies - great matching, HSA, pensions, and bonuses. The culture was great too, middle management was a pleasure to work with.

Cons

It’s easy to get stuck in one position if you’re a high performer. Seemed like if you’re good at your job you get stuck there while others get a lot more mobility. The options I had to move were all within the same sphere, great if you like what you are currently doing but not so much otherwise. Also, expect a re-org every 2-3yrs, change can be good but it was often disruptive during my tenure.
