Pros

Good health benefits with low premiums. 401k matching up to 7%. Salary and bonus compensation is competitive and in line with market. 9-80 schedule is a huge perk. Work life balance is good, but will vary depending on your role. There was a focus on personal career development when oil prices were high, but the focus on that has lightened in the recent oil price environment.

Cons

It can be a frustrating place to work if you care about doing meaningful work and impacting the bottom line. The company is riddled with workflow complexity, tons of process, and indecisive middle management.

Pros

Supportive team environment with good learning opportunities and exposure to large-scale projects. Compensation and benefits are competitive, and the company offers strong brand recognition and career development resources.

Cons

Decision-making can be slow due to layers of management, and processes sometimes feel overly bureaucratic. Workload and priorities can shift quickly, which may create stress depending on the team.
