Noble Energy Reviews

Used to have good bonuses until oil price crunch, now nothing. Moved HQ to middle of nowhere; 1-1/2 hrs from downtown. Company spends money wastefully on frivolous, non-operations-related SG&A- art, cafeteria, charities, ads, a consulting co called GAP that bilks the co for millions. Company values going downhill. Too many contractors; poorly tracked. IT is incompetent and has too much power. HR is the least competent group of the bunch and completely apathetic. Layoffs in April included mostly staff level, a few managers, no directors or above. Surprisingly, no contractors were let go. The layoffs were cancelled out with # of people added in the recent merger, so expect another round. To get promoted you need an executive sponsor; even then you might not get a market based salary with the promo. No training for managers except generic online self serve courses.

incompetent management from the very top to the bottom. they have completely ruined the work atmosphere. they have taken our retirement and retirement insurance insurance away and put the company in a financial mess but spend money on tv commercials and newspaper adds to fool the public into thinking it is a upstanding company. employees are forced to volunteer to work at the food bank by supervisors and all field employees are required to work on every holiday including christmas and thanksgiving. the company has created a huge divide between office and field employees.
