Pros

Interesting problems. relaxed atmosphere . work life balance. a lot of corporate perks ( don't know for how long oil price! )

Cons

Unbelievable amounts of politics. Little number of permanents so to progress you need to be part of inner circle. No technical architects made to lead technical projects, which they then go to vendors to learn about tech and make ridiculous . Not meritocratic. Bullying is a major element. Really bad a delivery and technically inapt. if you are into technology stay away!

Pros

Benefits are better than most companies - great matching, HSA, pensions, and bonuses. The culture was great too, middle management was a pleasure to work with.

Cons

It’s easy to get stuck in one position if you’re a high performer. Seemed like if you’re good at your job you get stuck there while others get a lot more mobility. The options I had to move were all within the same sphere, great if you like what you are currently doing but not so much otherwise. Also, expect a re-org every 2-3yrs, change can be good but it was often disruptive during my tenure.
