Pros

There are a few good people left after countless layoffs. Flex schedule (half-day Fridays, though most still work full day); Option to telecommute one day a week. Casual dress code M-F Nothing positive about content of work or company as a whole...

Cons

Toxic environment, no opportunities (drilling is not doing well so that’s not likely to change), poor leadership, lack of communication, hierarchical chain of command, low morale, not strategic in decision making, won’t progress if not willing to work 24/7....stay far away if looking to join. Not a good place to work. The next 12-18 months will continue to be hard with merger and the drilling industry being down so recommend looking elsewhere. Maybe things will change, but unlikely....
