RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Marathon Oil full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Good people, Competitive compensation/retirement packages
Cons
Engineering company with less value placed on geology, lack of clear goals for projects, scientific work can fall on deaf ears if it's not what management wants to hear
Advice to Management
Communicate overall goals and why it's important to achieve these goals (this will allow for better scoping of projects)

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Marathon Oil full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
Benefits are still OK, but declining fast. Only the managers still get paid well. They are getting rid of experienced people, so they could pay less to 1-5 year petrotechs.
Cons
The culture of "yes" men! It is all about appearances and not doing the right thing. Managers always say the right thing, in reality people take shortcuts. The upper management has not strategy and does not take time to learn about real issues, so does not know how to fix fundamental business problems.
Advice to Management
The upper management needs to be changed! Remove their short term incentives, create incentives to promote long term value and employee satisfaction. The time is running out fast
