      I worked at Devon Energy (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      Salary was better than average.

      Cons

      Management was very "text book" and not always realistic. Spent all my time in meetings for the sake of meeting and meeting deadlines with meaningless paperwork. Try as they may, management is out of touch with the worker bees.

      Advice to Management

      Corporate office culture doesn't always apply to field offices.

      Pros

      Good pay and a nice environment. It was a great place to gain experience as an intern. I worked here for a year and it was nice to be integrated into the team.

      Cons

      Aside from the usual cons of working in the oil industry which can be rather unpredictable, there are not many cons that come to mind.

      Pros

      Great benefits, flexible work week, good compensation. Great people to work with!

      Cons

      A shift in upper management has changed the culture at Devon and mass lay-offs due to downturn in O&G market don't help. Significant changes in data management structure and data analytic platforms make it very difficult for techs to perform their job because of inflexibility in the ability to manipulate data. Management has favorites and they want the good ole boy yes men. If you are out spoken, innovative beyond their vision, you will not do well here.

      Advice to Management

      Speak to the people doing the job before you implement processes and software that affects their roles. Listen to your people, don't stifle the voices that oppose your "mission" there may be good reason for their concerns. If you are going to have a "mission" and expect employees to respect it then it needs to be observed by ALL employees no exceptions.

      I worked at Devon Energy full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      Devon used to be a great employer!
      Pay is good.
      Alternate work schedule is awesome.

      Cons

      Has really been going down hill for years. Did very poor job of implementing SAP and Project Management. Lots of unnecessary meetings. Teams are so big decisions are made very slowly. Massive layoff was carried out without much common sense.

      Advice to Management

      Return to your roots! Focus on creating long term value rather than paying attention to Wall Street analysts! Hire the best most qualified candidates! Forget about their demographics.
