Pros

- Genuine manager at least for me - Good work life balance - Good salary and bonus

Cons

- Due to thin segregation of duties, many stakeholders especially IT support. Kick you like a ball and many times no solution but eager to ask u to close the ticket. Need a one stop shop and more measurable metrics for IT. - Rather cold environment. Co-workers' respect for each other are not genuine but guided by company's value on respect. Appears friendly on the surface but badmouth behind one's back. - Overwhelming compliance courses to complete for new comers.

Pros

it's a big company and give you experience and when you apply to another company it make impression

Cons

small salary, no possibility for growth in the company , discrimination when it comes to promotions , if the line manager is not agree to let you go - you can't move to another department, no change in the salary till I was part of the company at all , your professional opinion mean nothing to the company no matter how much years you spent working the same job, very strange company rules for some things, lies on the job interviews and empty promises /ask everything to be in written form/, polish currency is not constant value and you should be aware that no matter what they promise in euro you will not earn this, very frequently reject to pay for training and a lot of other things

Pros

Pay is competitive for energy majors, being a European company they are a little more relaxed and better work life balance than what I've heard from others at US based energy majors. A big focus on safety and trying their best to do the right thing.

Cons

So much corporate politics and bureaucracy. Hard to get things done. Seems like there has been a "re-org" and layoffs every 2-3 years since 2015. Many high flying managers get shuffled around quickly and by the time they get to upper management, they haven't ever really stayed in any part of the business long enough to see all the cost cutting measures they took start to backfire. Continuous shift towards treating our projects and engineering/staff as a simple generic commodity that can be outsourced to shorter term contract workers, and HVEC (High Value Engineering Center) aka low cost places. IT and HR was completely gutted and outsourced, it's a nightmare now trying to get help from those support functions.

Pros

Okay pay for a student

Cons

Managers are childish, demanding and unpredictable. They illegally let people go by never contacting them again and removing them from text message chains.
