Pros

Job Security. This is a company that isn't going anywhere. They have a fantastic reputation in the industry and are a worldwide power in Energy. The people who I have worked with in the Houston office are great. My management staff and leadership team has been excellent. Very focused on growing the business, expanding the product offerings we have and becoming more environmentally responsible. The benefits have been really good so far but I hear that is going to change next year and it will not be "as good".

Cons

Human resources. We have policies built in that quite literally encourage our best employees to leave and find work elsewhere. If there is a position internally in the company that you qualify for, they will tell you that because of policy they cant actually pay "you" as much money to do that job. They will limit how much of a raise they give to an internal promotion that is non-negotiable. Then they will turn around and hire someone from outside the company to do the job for a higher Salary than the internal employee was asking for. I have now seen 4 different people leave due this policy. They are leaving and taking similar level positions at competitors for way more money.

Pros

Staff are generally friendly and approachable, any micro-management is rare, and the office has a more relaxed atmosphere. Some benefits available. Opportunities to move between departments and offices are plentiful.

Cons

Relaxed attitude above tends to seep into areas where it shouldn't such as decision making. A lot of employees feel under-rewarded and overworked, often having to make up slack for less experienced (but higher paid) staff. Turnover is high in certain departments so workloads can be a bit much due to understaffing. Communication from above is limited, and the spread of knowledge to staff is dependent on how proactive the managers are, as is support for external training/development. The current reorganisation has left a lot of uncertainty around the business and had led to lower morale.
