Pros

Broad global footprint, Diverse application technology, integration capable

Cons

Misapplied ego of CEO inhibits Team work, creates serious morale challenges, reduces integration development of technologies, loses creative and innovative internal partnering, business is a fractional reflection of what it should be. Completely ignored the vision of onshore and offshore oil, water and gas separation growth markets

Exec Bonus Based On Cost Cuts... Brutal... Benefits Dropped...

Pros

Good short term place to learn. The employees are nice and easy going.

Cons

Huge failures in process. History of corruption, tax screw ups and negative cash flow. Very dysfunctional -- the core of Weatherford's organizational structure is fundamentally flowed. Who runs the company? Left hand doesn't talk to the right hand. Or sometimes just doesn't talk at all. Constant turnover in management. New email on organizational changes come out every week. Poor integration of previously acquired companies. A huge percentage of Executive bonus/compensation is based on cost reduction. This means multiple RIFs and other cost cutting measures that impact employees directly. For example, benefits were slashed recently. No 401-k match. Furloughs in effect. Bonuses unlikely. Don't work here long term. You are just a number.

"Company in ruin"

Pros

Used to have good benefits and working environment.

Cons

Now the company is in ruin, the management is focused only on their own well being and the employees are merely pawns. Morale is destroyed.
