Pros

Excellent technology and I work with great people. Mission is very powerful and everybody understands and supports it. Phd Bakken founder is still alive and he is an icon. Great compensation, benefits, medical , the works.... Very international but still learning how to become global. The CEO has brought the stock up, great job there.

Cons

Minneapolis Politics and every Division is like a different company. Worst culture in CRDM, nothing moves and layer over layer, needs some change. The CEO brings people from the outside every time he has an opportunity to a VP level specially his buddies from GE, there is an abundant talent within. He shows very little emotion as a leader, so difficult to rally behind him, get a coach.

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.
