Pros

- A lot of opportunity to gain experience in different countries - Very focused on providing a good employment package - Able to work on cutting edge technology and new interesting processes - Very smart people that work there

Cons

- Management style is very 1900's. It is very hierarchical. It was the first and only place where I heard a statement like - "When you talk to someone at my level" - Managers are not well trained. They are trained in BP procedures, not how to lead people - Communication to employees is awful. - There is a false focus on safety. At every meeting there was a "safety moment", but it was almost used as a way to avoid dealing with real issues

Pros

Supportive team environment with good learning opportunities and exposure to large-scale projects. Compensation and benefits are competitive, and the company offers strong brand recognition and career development resources.

Cons

Decision-making can be slow due to layers of management, and processes sometimes feel overly bureaucratic. Workload and priorities can shift quickly, which may create stress depending on the team.
