Pros

I worked at talisman for two years as an influential lead engineer in one of the most high profile plays in the company. It was mentioned to me that talisman was a low performing organization with a desire to change, however I was not prepared for the chaos, poor training, and lack of leadership from most every department. Top management levels are distanced from the day-to-day operations and it shows in the stock performance. The people that stay at Talisman are often in positions that are beyond their experience (which can be a good thing), however this is a systemic condition leading to poor management support and a lack of willingness to change. The street has figured this out and it is directly reflected in their stock value.
