Vantaggi
If its not for the toxic bureaucratic work culture - Woodside does offer a great opportunity to get involved with complex technical challenges.
Svantaggi
1) Long work hours in finance. Working late is celebrated and worn as a badge of honour next day. 2) Cut throat competition among coworkers - everyone chasing higher performance ratings and bonuses - brown nosing and working long hours to meet unreasonable demands from middle management who are themselves in a popularity contest to out do each other for limited senior management positions. 3) Company has a huge gap in workforce - employees are expected to meet harsh deadlines to an extent that they break down mentally and physically. 4) Lots of good buzz words/phrases are drilled into employees mind via internal communication and intranet e.g 80:20 , supporting each other, mental health etc. However the real company culture is toxic and none of this is actually followed in day to day work. Interactions among overworked colleagues are often "rude" and "impolite".
