      Pros

      Innovation, vision, importance of energy, political importance. The oil and gas industry is at the centre of most things going on in the world. It is endlessly interesting. There is a great can-do mentality in the business.

      Cons

      size, way company is structured, clientism/patronage, lack of recognition. Since the downsizing of the 1990s the company has been run as a kind of confederation in which busines units have wide autonomy and, from the employee perspective, it is near-impossible to plan a career - so everyone has a short term mentality and they key to success and longevity is to hitch your wagon to a rising star/growing asset

      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.
