Awful experience

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Large global company.

Cons

Poor quality of life. Long working hours. The company does not allow for studying further unless you know how to get through all the politics. Awful management, that use fear and intimidation to get things done. Management tend to say negative statements to you in front of a full office. There is are false values that are only used in presentations and not applied in the work environment.

Pros

3 weeks vacation fist year, $2 lunch, 9/80 schedule. CEO appears to be open and ready to change the old culture.

Cons

Very few true promotions besides upper management, lots of lateral moves to give false hope. Lack of transparency, unequal pay, and no clear way to grow unless you're on the right side of the politics. Unclear long term plan for employees, not much communication from management regarding real opportunities-- lots of talk very little action. Work place politics are everywhere, but never experience what has fomented at Bhp. Verbalizing frustrations regarding job functions, pay, or processes are still discouraged, ( even though efforts to change this have been expressed by new CEO and President). Lots of closed door conversations. Lots of petty tattle tailing and CYA culture instead of open discussions and working as a team. Lastly, there are so many processes and procedures that by the time the project is over the wheel has been reinvented 100x.

Pros

Benefits are fantastic if you can put up with the poor management and constant management changes.

Cons

Lack of leadership that knows what is really going on. Project managers have no clue how to manage projects. They also expect you to live in the office. Finance stocks their office with food from SAMS because they are routinely there past 9 PM!!!
