Repsol reviews about "manager"

I do not see a oportunity to develop a career there.

Poor pay for tenured employees. No opportunity for growth. If a manager position opens it’s usually an expat that takes it, which isn’t surprising as a foreign based company. Company keeps selling off assets to meet their net zero goals which leaves an uncertain job security. High turnover rates across all teams due to very low morale. Poor leadership that makes bad decisions and doesn’t listen to suggestions. Treated like you don’t know what you are talking about. High level of micromanagement that delays results for ongoing operations. Constant process “improvements” that don’t replace old tools and just add layers to an already tedious process. High turnover rates across all teams due to very low morale

Satilite office, therefore not much oversight with Managers

No cons. It all depends on your team and managers.

- Little to no growing opportunities - No innovation capacity for local business unit. Everything is dictated by Madrid's Headquarters. - Leadership is moved around, with little regard for their actual experience in the roll. - Poor meritocracy: May be one of the few companies in the world where an HR manager is promoted after a Union is formed under his watch. - Salary is not updated at all compared to inflation. 0-3% increment over the last 4 years. Compared to national inflation of 5-9%. - If you are on Corporate Services (Legal, HR, IT, etc), forget about seeing the absurdly large bonus that the Upstream Business gets.

too many managers doing nothing.

Weird organizational restructure every 2 years. There is a lot of uncertainty with your position due to leadership changes and managers who are not experienced in there role. Disappointment in communication in updating employees

1) Cheapo company. Employees are severely underpaid. April 2020 raises based on 2019 performance were frozen due to covid. April 2021 raises for 2020 performance frozen due to covid again (by then oil had recovered). Finally, April 2022 with $120 oil, you would expect the company would make up for over 2 years of no raises. But nope, 2-3% raises only. Despite the inflation, despite no raises for 2020 and 2021, and despite the $120 oil… Mass exodus in Houston office. People can’t keep working for the same wage as April 2019. 2) Favoritism/ preferential treatment: unless you are 1) Former Talisman employee or 2) Contractor or 3) manager, you will never be treated properly, paid properly, or promoted. Contractors are given more opportunities, proper pay with overtime rates, and are allowed to make decisions as opposed to the employee engineers (we are the assistants for the contractors). Unfortunately management enables such an environment. 3) overly complicated processes that don’t allow for flexibility or change in the processes. 4) external hires get competitive pay packages, meanwhile employees that have been at Repsol for years continue to struggle with low pay.
