Pros

Compensation is at the 99% Benefits at 99% Retirement and stock options at 99% Bonus options at 99% Subsidized lunch for $2 with healthy and better than your average cafe options Choose Flexible work schedule 9/80 or work every friday or half day Fridays Can gain responsibility and diversify workload if you CHOOSE to, or don't Bottom up performance review.. performance is evaluated by direct supervisor, group supervisor, VP, President

Cons

Processes are geared toward offshore and inefficient for land operations Sometimes slow work load during "waiting period" No sense of urgency to complete projects, unable to work on small projects that should take a day or two ends up taking a week or two Slow career progression in terms of actual change in duties not just title changes No visibility into other teams outside your own

Pros

Above average benefits, nice offices with complementary coffee and sodas.

Cons

The culture is as close to that of the federal government as you will find in private business. The multi stage tollgate process is comically overdone and results in paralysis of analysis but not much else. Turnover seems excessive compared to peers. Good place to hang out and put your feet up if you're nearing retirement.

Pros

Above average compensation/benefits compared to other Oil and Gas companies. Excellent bonus structure. Company seems to be very employee focused with a goal of attracting and keeping top talent. The cafeteria and $2 lunch are awesome!

Cons

Seem to be experiencing some growing pains. The shale division was formed basically from acquiring Petrohawk as well as a Chesapeake field. Transition and development of processes is ongoing. Technology and tools to do your job seem to be lagging behind the times and other companies. Getting software to do your job is a nightmare since it has to go through several layers to be allowed on your machine.
