Pros

Interesting work for one of the "best" companies in the industry. Lots of broader energy industry experience represented. Work from home

Cons

Not a large focus on investing in the people who work there nor innovation. Poorly organized and focused. Many re-orbs and people performing too many functions. clear decision making power highly centralized/dependent on top execs for all decisions. Not a lot of room for growth
