No longer the overall Best Shipping Company in the World!

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits i.e. Health, Dental, Vision, 401K, generous yearly vacation time; office building is nice

Cons

With so many lay offs, morale is at an all time low. Recognition for great work is not acknowledged often enough. Headquarters from overseas sends over upper management to do the dirty work of laying off U.S. employees; jobs are constantly being out sourced to overseas; the lay offs of thousands of people still continues...no end to lay offs. No room for advancement.

Great Opportunity for exposure to the entire Ocean Transport Life Cycle ; Minorities overlooked for promotions.

Business Outlook

Pros

The exposure to many people that live across the globe. The management has an open door policy. Great emphasis is placed on employee engagement and development. The benefits are excellent and there is a full gym on site. Lateral moves within the department are easily granted. Cross training is a normal practice which gives you a wealth of knowledge about all processes of the department.

Cons

Qualified minorities (African American) are routinely denied promotions; while their non-black counterparts are awarded the position with less education and/or experience. Company gravitates toward mentoring non-black employees while often ignoring African Americans. File a grievance with HR and the paper trail will commence. You will become a target for termination.

Horrendous management, worst HR I've ever seen

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Incredible potential as a rapidly growing mid-sized oil/gas company

Cons

Lack of a defined culture - mix of top-down dictatorial leadership from Copenhagen and endless discussion in Houston. Leadership in Houston, specifically of Chissonga project, is highly dysfunctional - turnover in the Houston office is at an all-time high. People are always searching for other opportunities due to high dissatisfaction. HR tries to operate the Houston office like a small company, but it's a large firm now and should be treated as such. To their credit, recent changes have significantly improved in recruitment and internal processes.
