Pros

At least it goes down as the worst company I've ever worked at. People in the finance department are subservient and do not articulate well, so it can be quite a quiet place to work for:)

Cons

Archaic working culture in the finance department and thinks that they are well above the rest - delusional. People in the finance department work in climate of fear and have little gumption to challenge convention. If you are an old fogey, this place suits you. If you are young, ambitious and idealistic, stay clear!! This applies solely to the finance department. The company as a whole is miserly at best, with very little staff benefits, not befitting of a fortune 100 company.

Pros

It used to be better. Some bosses and colleagues are nice. Good place to learn your trade. Free parking if you drive.

Cons

The name says it's a US MNC but it operates like a local SME. Remuneration is lower than market and still tries to lowball you. Bonuses are bad during good times and near nothing during bad times, and by their standard, every year is a bad year. Pathetic and almost non existence benefits. Company exists only to please shareholders (not even customers). Overly focus on numbers and when targets are not met, employees are sacrificed even when business is profitable. The overall age of employees is skewed to the high side and this is likely due to the inability to attract talent. Doubts on succession planning as senior management is near retirement age and there are no capable next gen leaders to take on the roles. Becoming a training ground for competitors and other companies as the good employees left for better opportunities. Those staying are either trying to get out or had past the golden period to exit. Senior management appears clueless and fickle at times. Management has the silo mentality and appears complacent as they think that they are very good. Over reliance on the O&G industry.
