Pros

Used to be a great company filled with talented, genuine people UNTIL new "CEO" Matt Schatzman took over in early 2018, totally destroying the culture and running every department into the ground. Basis of the Rio Grande LNG project is very strong, but mismanagement may prevent it from coming to fruition.

Cons

Toxic work environment, terrible (and/or non-existent) management, high turnover (voluntary and involuntary), poor compensation relative to peers, incompetent HR, highly clichey and executives who will back stab anyone to make as much money as possible. "CEO", CFO and General Counsel need to be replaced if they have any chance of saving once great organization. Stay away from this sinking ship.
