Pros

Good group of younger folks in the company. Great open spaces on the Houston Campus.

Cons

1. Compensation structure is, at best, stagnant. The methodology for finance function employees has dropped the salary curve to levels that leaves most young employees unsure of earning potential and fails to motivate anyone effectively. The inability of senior management to understand that a member of the finance function is not tied to a particular industry has created a mass exodus of younger employees seeking employment elsewhere. 2. The ranking system fails to address those who lag behind, instead rewarding old analysts with an effective tenure that costs the company 3x as much for a quarter of the work of a younger employee. Ultimately, it leaves young analysts feeling undervalued and under-compensated, while encouraging older employees to put in time to simply work 6 hour days for a lucrative paycheck. 3. The work fails to engage employees in any type of meaningful way. If you want to come to work to follow instructions in excel and make very few choices about the things you do or work on, then this is the place for you. 4. Career progression is inflexible. Your career is at the hands of a committee who simply places you where they deem fit.

Pros

Good pay and a pension

Cons

Everything else. Benefits are lackluster, Flex Your Day policies are elusive. The company changes everything all the time so that a large portion of your time is spent finding new links to things on the portal, figuring out who to contact in various departments and in what country just to get a simple answer to a question. No one stays in the same role long enough to get good at their job. Morale is terrible.
