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.
