Sr. Consultant (Former Employee) - Houston, TX - April 10, 2022

Great work life balance, culture and benefits. They treat you like you matter and belong. They live by their values and incorporate this into your performance goals for the year to keep you accountable for living them.

Just okay

HR (Former Employee) - Houston, TX - June 8, 2021

Compared to the rest of the industry, Equinor is just okay. The benefits that used to be there in 2012 have dwindled down to below industry standards. The constant reductions and misdirection of leadership continues. However, if you want an OK job with an average level of stress this is the place for you.

Pros

Retirement

Cons

Leadership

Good Company but uncertain U.S. future.

Coordinator - Facilities Management (Former Employee) - Houston, TX - February 21, 2021

This is a good company to work for. The work/life balance is good and the facility in Houston is first rate. There has been four reorganizations in the last 15 months and the company has drastically reduced its' employee base and footprint in the U.S. Norway is sending signals that this reduction will continue so I knocked the overall rating down because of this uncertainty.

Pros

9/80 work schedule, Good PTO with past experience taken into account. Compensation comparable to other energy companies

Cons

Uncertain future in the U.S.

Great Job if you are Management

Maintenance (Former Employee) - Austin, TX - February 15, 2021

Within my first 90 days of employment I was told that I would never move up in the organization. That my position was as far as anyone could go in the Planning / Scheduling role. This is nearly unheard of in the oil and gas industry. They preach inclusiveness for diversity, however they practice the “good ole boy” system. Benefits were phenomenal, and the pay is beyond belief. However, they do not keep their promises when it comes to bonuses and LTI’s. I strongly suggest checking your employment agreements THREE times before signing, and definitely check any and all non-compete agreements. They are quick to sell assets, and have no loyalty to personnel!!

Pros

Pay and Benefits

Cons

No employee loyalty, Do not keep employment promises

Good company to work

Leading Petrophysicist (Former Employee) - Houston, TX - February 6, 2021

The company culture is very good and the people are very friendly. The work and life balance is reasonable and the benefits are very good. Because of the company structure in the exploration of US GOM, the collaboration between the departments is week in the past.

Pros

Good pay and benefits

Cons

Not much

Excessive turn over.

Engineer (Former Employee) - Austin, TX - February 3, 2021

The excessive turn over shows this company is poorly managed or the employees really don’t like the work/managers. People left voluntarily as a way out or gave up to get the severance package. Lots of good senior people left just to get out.

Pros

Free snacks and coffee in the break rooms.

Cons

No fun and uptight. Job insecurity!

Good place to work for experienced people

GIS Engineer (Former Employee) - Oslo kommune - December 15, 2020

I was working earlier in Statoil. Great company where those who want to perform and work more are able to do so. I was located in Oslo in a very impressive building. You bring more your knowledge than you learn so I would recommend to get experience before enrolling with them

Equinor is the worst company to work for

Safety & Sustainability Unit (HSE) Construction Leader -Contract (Former Employee) - Hannibal, OH - July 22, 2020

The managers at Equinor in the Marcellus and Utica shale plays are only concerned with stepping over power employees to make themselves look good for Houston and Norway. They will roll you under the bus in a heart beat to save themselves.

Pros

Great pay

Cons

Totally unorganized and get contractors killed

Equinor

Production Foreman, Equinor (Former Employee) - Three Rivers, TX - April 1, 2020

Over the past 3 years I have seen a major decline in Equinor's performance in management with business and personnel. They do not give credit where credit is due. The turn over rate in upper management is above normal which gives operations an unsteady track.

Paid Accordingly, Horrible Finance Management

Revenue Analyst (Current Employee) - Houston, TX - March 30, 2020

Going into the company, expect to get paid according industry standards. This isn’t the case going forward so negotiate well on going in. The company has great hope for US assets, but Norwegian values aren’t necessarily apparent in US. The revenue team is not very knowledgeable of their functions. This is mostly likely due to how manager/leaders move throughout the company. It’s almost as if they are only thinking about their next move instead of understanding their department. Revenue isn’t a good place if you want something long term.
