RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Newfield Exploration full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
Newfield is a really great company. The leadership is smart, down to earth and does a great job of mentoring employees. The company is leading the industry with its operations in Oklahoma and much of its operational activity is considered top-tier. They offer "Cadillac" benefits including insurance, compensation, bonus and 401K.
Cons
Leadership often gives employees who are not performing up to par the benefit of the doubt -- and sometimes it goes on way too long.
Advice to Management
Keep up the good work operationally. You have great people and the culture is uniquely Newfield. Not everyone fits into that culture. When they don't, cut your losses and ask them to move on -- for the benefit of the company and your people.

Pros
Great pay and benefits
Generous PTO
Good company for those that aren't afraid to blow their own horn and are politically savvy.Cons
Highly political. Lots of personality politics
Feeling of highly skilled staff not taken care off properly
Little advancement opportunities. I see a lot of cronyism in who gets leadership positions
Lots of work, not enough people.Advice to Management
Pay more attention to real achievers and less to those who can 'walk the talk'
Do a better of measuring competencies and taking an interest in employs and their career aspirations. Telling folk 'be glad you are picking up skills just in case you leave' is dispiriting and saps loyalty.Newfield Exploration 2017-06-18 21:16 PDT![Newfield Exploration Logo]()

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOPros
Leadership encourages team to think our the box. Every position is important to the team. Excellent benefits and generous piad time off.
Cons
Very pro extrovert environment; the less extroverted employee, though talented, could end up pigeonholed if they do not actively promote themselves and their successes.

RecommendsPositive OutlookPros
Newfield has a generous bonus program. The staff is great to work with. Had they not laid me off I would still be with them today.
Cons
An oil and gas company is an ever changing environment, but in my opinion this last round of layoffs, centralization of offices into the Woodlands, and subsequent departmental reorganizations has cut to the bone more so than any prior actions.
Advice to Management
My fear with the layoffs and reorganization is that some of the management personnel that have been retained or the new people moved into management may not be what the company needs to move forward in a healthy way. With everything that the company has gone through, my advice would be to watch the effectiveness of each management team and move out the people that are not fulfilling their roles.
