Cons

The management thinks everyone is stupid, believing that every job and every task can be managed by written work instruction. So when situations arise outside of the parameters of the work instructions, employees are not trained to use critical thinking to solve problems. To to that off, the work instructions were slapped together without any quality control.

Cons

Oil & Gas industry downturn is stilling

Cons

Dog eat dog mindset

Cons

Management talks about becoming data driven, but in action highly insulates the yes-man mentality. Company is the most political place I’ve ever worked. Advancement is awarded to the more bureaucratically/politically skilled employees over those producing results through usage of hard skills and data driven approaches. Whereas process is continually talked about, it’s rarely documented, consistent or embraced/reinforced by management. In the company values, there’s an “independent spirit” statement that effectively serves as an excuse for managers/employees to do whatever you want with little cohesion or alignment to the company’s strategic objective. Culture embraces an ‘opt-out’ behavior and heavily weighs on those who demonstrate ownership. Executive management is a group of stereotypical white, good old boys who have been together for years.
