Pros

Great gyms, restaurants, common areas, gardens. They really splurged on the non-work element of the job.

Cons

After the Macondo disaster, they decided to hire a lot of very qualified people to fix their supplier contract problems, Supplier quality, on-time delivery, improving KPIs and other metrics of performance, etc. It was all a huge facade. At the end of the day, they ground down these highly qualified new hires with red-tape, bureaucracy, and the worst inefficiency. All they really wanted was to look good if they were audited. Not to really fix any of the structural problems that caused the Gulf of Mexico catastrophe to begin with. A lot of copy-and-paste in Excel. a lot of BS KPIs, when category managers have no access to on-time-delivery or to Quality from suppliers. They don't even approve a trip to Lousiana from Houston, for god sakes! If you want to be well paid and look the other way, this is the place for you. If you rock the boat, they will make your life a living hell and drive you out.

Pros

Benefits are better than most companies - great matching, HSA, pensions, and bonuses. The culture was great too, middle management was a pleasure to work with.

Cons

It’s easy to get stuck in one position if you’re a high performer. Seemed like if you’re good at your job you get stuck there while others get a lot more mobility. The options I had to move were all within the same sphere, great if you like what you are currently doing but not so much otherwise. Also, expect a re-org every 2-3yrs, change can be good but it was often disruptive during my tenure.
