      I have been working at Imperial Oil full-time for more than 10 years

      Pros

      Very stable company, safety is #1 and strict adherence to standards.

      Cons

      ExxonMobil influence (degraded training standards, work/life balance is poor, expected overtime often without full compensation), performance ranking system discourages cooperation and risk management work selection often drives easy decisions VS. "the right one".

      Advice to Management

      Listen to the results of the survey (not just what you think people meant... and if you think you are now, you still aren't!) Stop cutting the maintenance budgets and revisit B:C thresholds. Pay people for their time...

      Growth focused, Organization culture being transformed to be more inclusive.

      Advice to Management

      Fully Let go of the old systems of working. It may have served you well in the last decades. It will not in the near future. The times are changing.
