Pros

Company culture facilitates employee engagement, assignments keep you challenged and interested at work, your able to see how you directly add value to the business, your given opportunities to learn and grow along with a formal development process, and your surrounded by people who are smart, open, and willing to help.

Cons

In such a global company at times it's easy to feel the sting of bureaucratic policies from centralized functions such as finance and policy.

Pros

They have great benefits and a strong family orientation. There's plenty of opportunities for "go get 'em" types. The family culture is hard to beat in the refineries, but only if you fit in.

Cons

Limited feed back and opportunities for steady performers. If you're not looking to be the CFO, you're treated poorly and opprtunities go away. Communication on important, but not "secret" issues is non-existent.
