Business Outlook

Pros

My manager was always responsive and supportive. I enjoyed a broad range of responsibilities including interaction with a broad group of intercompany clients. The people I worked with at the company were always top notch. The company has innovative technologies and provides good services to the industry.

Cons

The company is obviously subject to the volatility of the Oil and Gas industry (no pun intended). This along with some historically poor investments has lead to the companies instability.
