Pros

- Nice benefit if you are full time

Cons

- No remote for full time employee - No project management. There are no PM, so developers are supposed to figure out feature specifications and support users directly, which can be time consuming, and it eats a good chunk of development time/effort - A lot of deadline. Things can sometimes get slow, but there are also a lot of stressful deadlines due to poor project management. Users of course do not understand how technology works, if you have a strong technical manager in your team maybe you can get support and push back, otherwise good luck - No system design. This company cares more about deliver speed instead of quality. This naturally leads to jumping in code very fast without fully understanding the need from users, and the proper technical design for it, which in return comes back to performance and affect the future development - Definitely not TDD This is oil & gas company, so technology really is more of a support. If you just want stability then this is a great place for you, since they do not layoff full time employee, and the benefits are good. But if you are more of a techie person then probably this is not for you

Pros

The benefits were excellent, including medical, dental, and vision coverage. When I was hired in 2010, PTO was determined by a combination of age and tenure. By the time I left in December 2016, I had accumulated about five weeks of vacation.

Cons

In 2017, upper management decided to close the Tyler, TX division, which had been operating for at least 17 years. I had planned to retire from EOG, but that decision changed everything. I was given the choice to relocate or be laid off. Because I could not afford the cost of moving, I was laid off, which had a significant negative impact on my life. It took me more than two years to find another job in the oil and gas industry in Tyler, TX.
