Pros
good pay, lots of vacation/time off, if you get in with the right people you can sail on to retirement with little work
Cons
Management only cares about impressing those above so they can climb the corporate ladder; you get ahead by who you know not what you do; leaders are clueless as to what subordinates actually do; leaders don't treat all team members equally; development goals are useless as you are forced to put down what your leader wants you to develop and not what you actually want to develop; leaders/mgrs will stop you from moving within the company if they don't want you to leave the dept even if it's on your development goals; some depts will hold employees to staying 2 yrs while other depts will allow you to move in less time which clearly shows which managers genuinely care about supporting their people and not hindering development; very heavy workload and no recognition for extra effort; lots of lip service with little action/things take way too long to change/progress/be completed; technology is 5 years behind other oil and gas companies; hardly any training to do your job; job description is not what the job actually is; HR provides no support if you need it; money is allocated to wrong areas and therefore wasted; managers often make decisions based on their opinions and don't consult the people who may may truly know better; lack of synergy across the company; overall way too many politics.

Pros
Suncor Energy has been great for me. The workplace culture depends on your team and group and so far mine is exceptional.
Cons
The job security in the Oil & Gas industry is not great. You have to always be aware that your job could disappear through no fault of your own.
