I have been working at Newfield Exploration full-time
Pros
Great environment for self starters. Young workforce but skilled co-workers. Entrepreneurial attitude and spirit. Need to wear multiple hats and be self driven.
Cons
If you need constant direction to motivate yourself or don’t know how to look for answers to problems it could be a challenge.
Advice to Management
Continue to give responsibility early. Resist the big company mentality. It is cropping up in the some CYA policies like deleting emails after 60 days.

RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Newfield Exploration full-time
Pros
Empowerment if under the right leadership. Pay/Salary/Bonuses (since the changes in 2012) were based on contribution instead of gender or who you knew
Cons
Senior Leadership seems to live in another world. Often they seem disjointed, with unrealistic requests, and can be condescending. CEO loves his own monologues... which might be an hour straight of him talking about himself. He is talented, but lacks on the people skills

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.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Newfield Exploration full-time (More than 3 years)
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]()
