Constant Hiring Followed by Layoffs - Geologist ConocoPhillips Employee Review

Pros

Good pay when things are good.

Cons

Seems to only hire externally instead of redistributing man power to emerging needs. It feels like this leads to over staffing which is then followed by mass layoffs. Company has had many rounds of layoffs over the past ~decade and the environment feels very unstable even for the oil field. If not for the constant layoffs I would likely still work there. I left on my own - not associated with a layoff.

Pros

The culture is incredible, everyone is very kind and willing to help with questions. Interns get to work on real, valuable projects over the summer. Lots of fun events.

Cons

Slight worry about job security/relocation

Pros

Friendly company, cares about safety.

Cons

Extremely disorganized after 2025 layoffs. Lots of experienced staff left, leaving lots of gaps. They can't decide if they want to operate like a lean independent or a supermajor which means they want things done yesterday but still while following 1,000s of pages of guidelines and procedures.
