Pros
Executives great to work with. Strategic. Want to advance the energy business. Want to communicate. Work hard. Believe they are setting the right culture (but it isn't being carried out at lower levels)
Cons
It's the senior- and mid-level managers in Communications who are clinging to the old boys network, tapping the same (mostly white men) for plumb assignments and passing over better qualified candidates for the favored few. You lose your value the minute you walk in the door and they put you under some manager promoted to a role he has no business running. Once inside, promotions for those outside the inner circle are few and far between. Ranking in communications is based on personality and politics instead of hard work and real enterprise value. Employee surveys are massaged to keep the functional leads in control.
