Good Place at the right time

Business Outlook

Pros

My coworkers were the best part of the ten years. I felt that I was surrounded by a great group of people who really all cared and looked out for one another.

Cons

Some of the management decisions over the years were interesting. Higher level management does not appear to care for the lesser employees.

Satisfied, but boring

Business Outlook

Pros

Ample amount of time off. Workload can be high, but much less than Schlumberger (where I worked for 7 years in a similar role). Fantastic people, that are not as vilified or mechanized as Halliburton's competition, Schlumberger.

Cons

Where is the technology? Definitely not the leader in the industry with respect to most processes, tools, software... etc. The potential is there, but not realized. I did not feel challenged in the company. So much so, that I had to leave.

Pros

Great when Oil is on the upswing. In some instance you can make your own way through the company.

Cons

It's the good-ol-boy network in spades. It's not what you know it's who you know. Also, if you get a little on the old side they want to shove you out the door.
