Pros

International opportunities, international scope and experience (at least in the marketing group)

Cons

-VERY political and VERY bureaucratic- an incredibly frustrating culture for people that want to work and get things done -Slow moving and risk averse, even for Big Oil -Workforce lacks the levels of diversity seen in other Fortune 500 firms -Software, etc. is extremely out-dated and difficult to work with -Pretend to be friendly toward alternative energy but behind closed doors often openly deride all that is not oil/gas

Pros

Good pay and a pension

Cons

Everything else. Benefits are lackluster, Flex Your Day policies are elusive. The company changes everything all the time so that a large portion of your time is spent finding new links to things on the portal, figuring out who to contact in various departments and in what country just to get a simple answer to a question. No one stays in the same role long enough to get good at their job. Morale is terrible.
