Repsol reviews about "pay"

Talent management needs to be improved

Bonus structure is unfair. Madrid does not listen to US technical staff. Lean business model overworks staff.

Had to overcome Spanish language barrier

Lack of effective leadership, not competitive with peer compensation. They perform so poorly as an operator in North America that they will never be a positive place to work. The only way they're worth consideration is if you hove no other employment opportunity. Out of touch execs refuse to listen to regional leaders/employees.. be ready to get steamrolled into failure

Heavy workload Slow resolution to I.T. issues

1) Business unit goals are beyond expectation but no special recognition / bonuses other than "Thank you" word which means nothing. 2) Staff being underpaid and unfairly treated. No action or consideration being made even after staff highlight their needs on fair market wages. Repsol more keen to hire new people with higher salary rather than helping their own staff for a fair market salary range. 3) Management are not transparent in managing their business. 4) Management often make false promises to employee from top management until the department manager. 5) Toxic work environment. No motivation in department.

Pay is low Upper management is extremely demanding, unknowledgeable and unreasonable The less people they have, the more work is required of those who remain with 0 changes in compensation. I don't mean that you ONLY take the workload left behind by people that got laid off, you will be made to do that AND then they will give you even more (unnecesary) work to do Preferential treatment, there is a buddy system that is unbreakable. It is either spaniards helping spaniards or legacy talisman helping legacy talisman. In the past few years (and I hear that this happened a few years back as well), they have enacted "temporary" measures to chip away at compensation, the changes were/are not temporary..... There are many more cons, I just don't have time to write it down because I am swamped with unnecessary meetings!

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.
