You can make a great career here, but you have to play the game.
Pros
-Salary -Bonus -Benefits -401k/Pension -Safety I am not sure how everything compares to other oil & gas, downsteam/midstream companies.
Cons
-Politics -Culture -Project Process -Safety -Internal Turnover Seems like a typical big corporation with its politics and culture. The bonuses are great but, combination of that, the profit enhancement program, the rating system, etc., it also deteriorates the team atmosphere. There seems to be a blame/fear culture. I'm sure it is different for different groups. Try to contact someone from LinkedIn and ask about your specific group. Internal turnover is quite high and it seems like a lot of people don't necessarily have control over their next position. The high turnover creates an atmosphere where no one cares to really learn their position so no one knows what's going on. It depends on what kind of person you are. If you like to play the game and are used to this environment, you can do a lot here. If not, or you're not labeled as "high potential" early on, you probably won't move up fast.
