Pros
Great work environment. Very clean accommodating offices. Fun and interesting people to work with. Fair compensation and work benefits. A team atmosphere where everyone contributes.
Cons
Unbalanced workload and personal time. Erratic and disruptive changes that don't make sense. Failure to integrate experienced personnel with new team members. Some lack of leadership in some departments.

Pros
The people you work with everyday are some of the best and brightest I've met. They want you to succeed in everyday aspects of work as well as leave with a wealth of knowledge. The culture at this company is one of the best with core values that are put in action, not just words on paper. All of the projects given to me were meaningful, everyday work my mentor and coworkers would be doing had I not been there. They were very open for my many questions but still trusted me to complete the work effectively and efficiently.
Cons
The housing out in Midland was hard to find and somewhat limited in options.

Pros
Relaxed work environment, plenty of opportunity for breaks. That latitude to work at your own pace makes it easy to get work done while you're in the office. People on the team were great and always willing to bend over backwards to help.
Cons
Offices were a bit warm at times, especially on Monday mornings. I had an interior office with no window, so it got pretty stuffy over the weekend with the A/C turned up.

Pros
I worked with a lot of good people who were great at their jobs and committed. They also had incredible benefits.
Cons
When I started, management seemed more interested in drilling a lot of wells as fast as possible instead of figuring out the best way to drill them. Also, layoffs were handled extremely poorly.

Pros
Secure job. Amazing benefits. Great scheduling. Coworkers are all great people that work hard and are reliable. The culture is one of the best in the industry!
Cons
Location. I don’t have anymore cons to mention. Now I am just writing words to satisfy the word requirement. Done

Pros
Everything at Anadarko was first class. The 9/80 work schedule was great, the benefits package was outstanding. With the downturn in oil, layoffs did happen but that is just the business.
Cons
Nothing. Anadarko was wonderful, there is nothing that would have made it any better. I hope that when oil goes back up the company grows and rehires people that were laid off.
