Pros

High calibre of industry experts. Great products from each business line. Good benefits. At one point, few years ago, there was real promise of greatness.

Cons

Salary not at par with industry standard. Little room for career progression. Company too highly tied to O&G which dictates share price and company focus, despite the various business streams outside of Energy which are prosperous. Redundancy on a global scale, on the quiet but worrisome, as cost cuts are proving to be not tied to a stable strategy. All seems to be knee-jerk reaction to low oil prices, not to a focused, real company policy (I.e. What can we do in the short term to make us look better on pamper). The business line leads/executive management only care about short term figures, share prices. Past year has been focused on making up the slump the energy group has suffered. Any employees consideration is met with disbelief and suspicion by employees as its all about share price and numbers rather than true growth and innovation.

Pros

A technology company so far behind that there is always interesting projects going on. In the past year executive leadership seems to have some focus and it does not feel like organization ADD. Benefits are very competitive.

Cons

A very consistent pattern of RIF's every few months. It is interesting that it is not always the lower performers, be very careful expressing an opinion for progress to middle management or you will very likely find yourself on the next RIF list. This is a management team that thinks they know it all. There are very few examples of leaders in this group, most are bosses, will make sure to tell you how to do the job. If you are coming in make sure to get a very good understanding of the expectation of role and responsibilities. If you are skilled you will be taken advantage of and asked to contribute at higher grade levels but performance and advancement is very subjective and there is no transparency in organizations like IT about what it takes to move to next levels. Unless of course you are playing that middle management stroking feathers game right..
