Politics and Favoritism - Anonymous employee Forum Energy Technologies Employee Review

Pros

Not a micro managed environment (in some groups) Tuition reimbursement Good benefits PTO Employee stock options Decent pay if you know the going rate and negotiate properly

Cons

Favoritism and office politics have changed the environment for the worst after newest drilling management. Its a WHO you know, not what you know environment ever since. The buddies get promoted to positions they are not qualified for and they take credit for others work while blaming all mistakes on them as well. Hard work and loyalty is not rewarded, only who you buddy up to. No open door policy because of upper management "relationships" with other employees. No moral, everyone is miserable at a company people used to think they would retire from.
