Pros

The people you work with are good people. The pay is competitive. Great Benefits. Great safety culture.

Cons

They layoff people like they are nothing to them. . Not just average people but people that have been with the company for years. They care more about the shareholder than the people that have spent years of sacrifice trying giving their best for the company. They can care less about that. Even though they have plenty of cash to go through harsh oil market time without having to let go so many people they rather buy Russian oil company than keep their good people. It won't surprise me at all if the company loose it the edge and their so "we are the number one" pride because you can not be the number one by letting so much knowledge and experience go just like nothing.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
