Pros

Benefits are decent/pretty standard for this size company Main campus is extremely nice You meet and work with some good people.

Cons

-Poor culture. They say they are ready to change but when someone comes from outside the industry to actually change things, they face extreme resistance. -Management, especially in the ASG IT department, is horrible. -No incentive to go above and beyond. Your bonus is not really tied to your individual performance and is instead tied to company/department. So if you are reading this researching working for them, make sure you negotiate hard on salary instead of bonus. you can also negotiate on vacation. -They DO NOT LISTEN. This might just be a specific department, but they ask for feedback, you give it and nothing is done. Example - I was vocal multiple times to my senior management about how I was being treated and nothing was done. In my exit interview, I once again provided this feedback and said I can give detailed examples with dates/times and other individuals in other departments that will confirm my information. Instead of wanting that information, HR just said " I will give that feedback to my manager". What does that do if you dont have those details? How will things change? Its hard enough to go out on a limb and be vocal, even more so when it is a down market for oil and the entire economy. - You are a number. The mentality is how much work can I squeeze out of this person. Example- due to market conditions they let go a huge percentage of the main campus in March/April 2020. Well that work had to go to somebody , and that somebody are the people who remained. You didn't get your bonus, they didn't offer any type of increase for these new responsibilities. You worked longer hours and there was not a shred of appreciation. In fact, it was relayed multiple times, "just be grateful we have a job" - You are not valued. Expanding upon the above point. In addition to no bonus, no increase for new responsibilities, you were also furloughed. Senior Management says, "we are in this together" while a good portion were exempt from the furlough. While the furlough was shorter than expected, that was to bring people back to let them go. - They do not invest in training. One would think as a leader, if I know my people are taking all of these hits one after the other ,and are scared for their job ,then I can offer them something. Invest in their skills, offer them a day off, DO SOMETHING!!! - They will say we have to go lean, but then spend a ton of money elsewhere. For instance, just recently they announced a million dollar grant for scholarships to try and recruit new talent. How about invest in the talent you currently have. You have the money!

Pros

* Strong brand recognition and opportunity to work on large-scale marketing initiatives. * Exposure to technical subject matter and cross-functional collaboration. * Good place to learn how large enterprise organizations operate.

Cons

I joined in a hybrid role where flexibility was an important factor in accepting the position and making personal life decisions. Within about a year, the organization moved to a full return-to-office model. While companies can change workplace policies, the transition felt abrupt and inconsistent in practice. A recurring challenge was that expectations around in-office presence did not always appear to match day-to-day reality. Remote participation still occurred for meetings and operational needs, which created confusion around when flexibility was acceptable and when it was not. Within my department, I also experienced challenges around communication and collaboration. Feedback on projects sometimes arrived late or only after priorities had shifted, and in some cases work was reassigned or substantially changed without clear involvement from the original contributor. Public criticism of work product without prior coaching made it difficult to improve or feel ownership over deliverables. Leadership communication during organizational changes often felt more focused on compliance than employee concerns. Employees raising questions about work arrangements sometimes perceived limited space for open discussion. Over time, the combination of reduced flexibility, inconsistent application of expectations, and limited recognition of specialized contributions negatively affected morale and trust.
