Pros

Great place to learn and grow Not many career opportunities outside of Middle East or Houston Friendly and eager staff Lots of large company perks

Cons

Organizational changes have taken the focus away from people, so they are seen as nothing more than a commodity. Employee appreciation is the first thing to be removed in a poor economy. Management structure has removed all decision making from employees, very difficult to get anything done. Very frustrating. In the downturn, very poor decisions were made regarding layoffs. Became a very stressful workplace. Very little career prospects in most positions.
