Pros

Good pays for junior roles, although that's comparable to peer in upstream O&G Lavish with on-the-job benefits for employees Easy to enter new roles and gain skills Good gender balance Possibly best employer if you want to live in Norway and work 8.30 - 15.00 hassle-free

Cons

Slightly annoying self-serving rhetoric on values, which seldom matches practices and attitude of employees Overly bureaucratic, I mean for real! Over-staffed, which leads to intense office politics by staff with no meaningful task to accomplish Little accountability, no meritocracy whatsoever, yes-man culture Various cases of incompetent senior management Bluntly put it, a discriminatory organisation - Norsk are better paid and move on. Others are left vegetate

Pros

Work life balance. Salaries and benefits are also good. Good facilities and work environment. Good learning of oil & gas industry.

Cons

The opportunities to grow are given only to Norwegians and friends. A lot of money is spend to keep expats everywhere. Very expensive and empty facilities in fancy locations. Outsourced services which the quality is really poor. The company wants to save in cents, not in dollars.

Pros

Good modern offices in London

Cons

Norweyan bosses always on holidays or avoiding work. However exploiting foreign employees. Treating their own Norweyan employees much better. Salary discrepancies. Lower ranking employees paid more than their actual boss who is based in London just because they came from US or lived in Norway in their previous roles. Top bosses in Norway are a click and protect each other. There is not way to express concerns about their inappropriate behaviors as HR will not listen. Sexist environment, women not empower despite they claim they are a very diverse employer. Bullying culture within the organization. High turn around of employees as people leave after being a few months in this toxic environment of entitled white male.
