Pros

Incredible potential as a rapidly growing mid-sized oil/gas company

Cons

Lack of a defined culture - mix of top-down dictatorial leadership from Copenhagen and endless discussion in Houston. Leadership in Houston, specifically of Chissonga project, is highly dysfunctional - turnover in the Houston office is at an all-time high. People are always searching for other opportunities due to high dissatisfaction. HR tries to operate the Houston office like a small company, but it's a large firm now and should be treated as such. To their credit, recent changes have significantly improved in recruitment and internal processes.

Pros

I used to love working here. I love the people I work with. The level of clients we get to work with is great. National, International brands.

Cons

Frequent reorganizations, salaries are not even keeping up with inflation (which is not a "merit" increase, additional responsibilities for no additional compensation, frequent layoffs and offshoring. When layoffs occur, there are always several positions / responsibilities that are not backfilled and no longer owned by anyone. Changing work from home / hybrid / full time back in office policies continue to change. Employees no longer trust the leadership. There is no stability. There is no incentive to do great work. It has not been valued.
