Pluspunten
The company has a global presence so there are opportunities to work in other parts of the world, if that is appealing to you. The company is healthy despite the struggles of the oil and gas industry globally. The company has a healthy culture in terms of general respect for employees (disrespectful interaction and abusive interactions are generally frowned upon), family and work/life balance is important, increased cultural diversity seems to be a focus. General safety in all respects is VERY important. The company spends a significant amount of time and money preaching safety in everything that is done. While this is no new or surprising for a terminal, off-shore, work operation in the field, the same laser focus takes place in the office buildings with all employees- accountants, finance, secretaries, etc. For instance, if one is walking down a set of stairs, you are required to hold the handrail. If you don’t and someone sees you, then the may say (politely), “Please use the hand rail”). The idea is to keep people safe at all costs and creat a culture throughput the organization where safety is more important than profits and “efficiency”.
Minpunten
Organization is generally slow in terms of making decisions and very process heavy in just about everything. Sometimes simple projects approvals / decisions are difficult to obtain.
