Pros

The pay and benefits are really good. Chicago office competes with investment banks for talent and offers better work - life balance, location good for suburban commuters who take the train

Cons

low oil prices seem to be driving a lot of changes to organization where the strategy is very short sited and focused on cost reduction and no growth

Pros

Supportive team environment with good learning opportunities and exposure to large-scale projects. Compensation and benefits are competitive, and the company offers strong brand recognition and career development resources.

Cons

Decision-making can be slow due to layers of management, and processes sometimes feel overly bureaucratic. Workload and priorities can shift quickly, which may create stress depending on the team.
