Pros

At Devon, employees are treated in a professional manner. You know what is expected of you, so they let you do it. Nobody hovers around you. Most supervisors, mid-level managers, and senior managers are first class individuals.

Cons

No matter your qualifications and experience, you have to look a certain way to get hired at Devon. If you don't look that way, and by some miracle you do get hired, scaling the corporate ladder at Devon will be out of bounds for you. With some very, very, few exceptions.

Pros

1. Strong compensation and benefits 2. Good brand recognition in the industry 3. Talented individual contributors

Cons

1. Serious leadership issues at the mid-management level 2. Extremely high turnover within certain teams (approximately 30% of employees lost in my group within one year) 3. Poor employee survey results with little to no visible accountability or corrective action 4. Culture of fear rather than trust—employees felt uncomfortable speaking up, and some openly feared retaliation 5. Problematic managers were widely known internally, yet remained in place
