Advice to Senior Management

Look at the cons

Pros

The best healthcare benefits. Different options to take time off or work part time. Good for working mother with moderate career goals (not for VP to be working moms). College graduate advance pretty fast.

Cons

Company culture is very conservative and arrogant. The environment is extremely competitive. Performance evaluation process is very subjective; ranking can be very unfair if your boss doesn't fight for you. In XOM you can be just a number, it's toooooooo big.

Advice to Senior Management

Change the ranking system.
Copy the best from other companies (Google, Apple, etc.) Need to innovate more
Don't favor High Profile employees only.

Pros

Safety conscious, training opportunities, mentoring, travel.

Cons

Immediate supervisors have a large influence on day-to-day work environment (can be good or bad). Recent changes to technical skill gates.

Pros

Very interesting work. There is opportunity for large interaction with very important suppliers and clients. It is the best for work experience! The management is very concerned with the work environment and makes it very comfortable.

Cons

First, the pay is not so good. Your colleagues at other companies will be paid more than you. There also many "controls" on everything. The American corporation is considered most holiest thing. If American employee comes then this word is better than yours even though you know this market better. Last years we witnessed very high turnover because of the pay problem and people were confident, but company would not give them self decisions.

Advice to Senior Management

Great work place! Great people! This makes a big difference! But the pay is not equal to other companies. You hire people to start their careers and then to witness them leave to competition. What we do is VERY important and this method will cost the company more in the long term. You must consider Prague a real investment and not an outsource factory. We are smart and hardworking!

Cons

This company is an oil/energy company...not a technology company. However, several management personnel are not very knowledge about the departments they manage, and not to fault them, many simply don't have the time to investigate because they too are so occupied completing tasks that should otherwise be automated. The level of bureaucracy is ridiculous and is an extreme hinderance at job task completion. There are a select few managers that are extremely good and have great ideas for IT change, however they face an uphill battle.

Advice to Senior Management

(IT department) Please recognize the importance of change and not be so resistance to it. So many daily routine tasks can be so simply automated in a safe and secure manner which will save time and money, in addition to improving employee morale in that they will be freed up to work on actual job related tasks instead of paperwork. Please listen more to the front line employees and be open to change.

Cons
