Pros

Competitive salary and benefits. It's a growing and stable business, with ample budgets for travel and professional development. They really invest in their people. Interesting subject matter. It has a global presence and is very focused on international dimensions of news. Good job for someone looking to transition from a job in the energy sector into journalism. If you find energy markets interesting, it's a great fit.

Cons

Not a lot of room for advancement, mostly because there is little turnover in management positions. Many editors with often conflicting views. As a news outlet, no one outside of the energy community has ever heard of it. The editorial bent tends to favor energy companies and discount or ignore other points of view. If you have a background in journalism, it is probably not for you.

Pros

Great teammates with high standards and low egos. Compensation isn’t competitive, so top performers often move on. The medical insurance, though, is excellent.

Cons

Management: Severely disconnected. A strict “3 days in office” rule is tracked via weekly attendance reports, yet the Head of North America works fully remote after moving away from Houston. Compensation: Senior-level pay is well below the Houston market. Repeated promises to make salaries competitive have been half-measures (think bottom 10% range). Hours: Expect meetings to be scheduled irrespective of your actual working hours.
