Houston, TX (US)

Current Employee – been working at Rowan Companies full-time for more than a year

ProsThis career is setting me off on a course for great success at an early age.
I have been given the ability to travel the world and work with people from all walks of life.
Currently I am working under a great leader who expects a spirit of excellence and is an example to all that surround them.

ConsThere is not always an adequate amount of time between projects and an unsure time that is known to be away from loved ones. Long stints of travel are expected and could be resolved with a backup and scheduled time to travel home.

Advice to Senior ManagementGive more time between projects or hire more project employees. Allot adequate time to plan for an upgrade. This is not easy as Operations change day to day but it puts a hardship on the company when work needs to be done with an unclear scope of work expected to be completed in an already short amount of time.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Khobar (Saudi Arabia)

Current Employee – been working at Rowan Companies full-time for more than 3 years

ProsThe organizational structure allows for good access to management. The company is expanding drastically and the management is vibrant and always looking for improvement.

ConsHR support and setup is lacking in many fronts. Although a company with more than 70 years of operations, Managements systems are quite behind times.

Advice to Senior ManagementStandardize pay structure internationally instead of categorizing region wise.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at Rowan Companies

ProsSolid company with good management and leadership overall. Each department had it's strengths and weaknesses, but overall it runs pretty well.

ConsDepending on the team or department you're in, there may not be any room for advancement. Tuition reimbursement is relatively small compared to other companies that offer it. But there are also a lot of companies that don't offer it at all.

Advice to Senior ManagementAs with most companies, it is always important to truly listen to the people all the way down the corporate ladder and not just to the managers.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at Rowan Companies

ProsGreat benefits. Most people are very friendly. Company has plans for growth. CEO is very knowlegeable and professional. Lots of experienced personnel in the company.

ConsTend to be reactive rather than proactive. Need to focus on staffing to meet future demand, rather than just in time staffing.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
