Pros

Good benefits & package (in comparison with other Russian companies) International projects (if you're in Lukoil Overseas) Some opportunities for growth.

Cons

Awful beurocracy and endless paperwork. Total disrespect to employees. Soviet mentality. Impossible to grow, if you're not a member of someone's family, or not a friend of a big boss, or not of a proper nationality. They do not hire people from the market, mostly 'by friendship'. Mad about security - not allowed to bring cell phones to the office. Disrespect to employees private life and work/life balance. No flexibility in vacation planning. Terrible atmosphere, competence between departments, not cooparation. Directive style of management (like in army or in KGB). If you're not a boss, you're a fool.
