Pros

- Work well paid - Good work / life balance - Friendly colleagues

Cons

- Is run as a collection of small companies rather than a single company, so the left hand never knows what the right hand is doing which leads to a lot of ineffeciency; long term strategy is patchy as a result - Unless you work for the exploration and production side you will always feel like, and be treated, like a poor cousin

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.
