Pros

Best benefits package around, one of the few companies to still offer an actual pension.

Cons

No longer the Williams of old. Too Many mergers and outsiders coming in taking over and simply running the company into the ground. Too much infighting and power struggling going on. More and more the people in charge are incompetent and impossible to get along with, leaving the workforce with little incentive to work. In some situations you go around management's back to do what's right, but mostly the individual contributors just don't care anymore. Also IT has become such a monster that they think they are the business instead of a service to the business.

Pros

Overall a really great company with flexible work schedule and great benefits (they still have a pension plan). Also, management doesn't tend to micro-manage.

Cons

The company is really segmented geographically...meaning that if you work in midstream and want to move to gas transmission (or the other way around), you have to relocate from one state to another. If you don't relocate, then you're pretty much going to stay doing what you're already doing.

Pros

Pay and benefits are good. Located all over and easy to transfer locations within the company.

Cons

Too big to care about individual employees. I worked for a company that was bought out by Williams and our workplace atmosphere went to crap overnight. New management came in and tried to push us around, change everything and make examples out of employees. The people I know that still work for Williams are trying desperately to find other employment.
