Pros

Good compensation, work-life balance, and good culture across all of Motiva.

Cons

Limited advancement opportunity. There is visible bias and favoritism for career advancement opportunities. People without a relevant skillset/experience get promoted or place into roles just because they are good with the hiring manager or executive team. The executive team is not the strongest. Too many org changes. Aramco dictates Motiva's long-term strategy.

Pros

Laid back and flexible with 9/80s and good vacation. Nice gym onsite.

Cons

Poor work culture - no clear growth or career path. Unqualified leadership and they have no idea what they are doing. Lacks honest transparent communication. Very political and NOT inclusive. Management does not care about employees especially the lower grade. Promotions are only based on favoritism. Fails to recognize and grow qualified talent. Does more layoffs than hiring.

Pros

Excellent facility for inexperienced engineers to learn refining. Still decent salary and benefits from when it was a Shell JV, but company is aggressively reducing all that to align with other bare-bones cost driven independent refiners.

Cons

Terrible senior leadership. Favoritism, nepotism, arrogance, lack of trust, lack of accountability... you know, all the things HBR tells leaders NOT to do.
