ConocoPhillips

ConocoPhillips provided an excellent environment for professional growth, technical development, and leadership opportunities. During my time with the company, I was able to work across production operations, facility commissioning, automation, completions, and operational excellence initiatives. The safety culture was among the strongest I have experienced, and employees were encouraged to identify problems, develop solutions, and contribute to continuous improvement efforts.

A typical day varied depending on the role and asset but often involved coordinating operations, troubleshooting equipment and processes, supporting field personnel, and working closely with engineering, maintenance, and contractor teams. The company invested in employee development and provided opportunities to gain experience across multiple disciplines.

The most enjoyable part of the job was working with highly skilled teams to solve complex operational challenges and improve efficiency, reliability, and safety. The most challenging aspect was balancing priorities across multiple projects and responding to changing operational demands, but those challenges also provided valuable learning opportunities.

Overall, ConocoPhillips is an excellent company for individuals seeking long-term career development in the energy industry.

I do not like the request to provide this review.  I feel it is personal and inappropriate to make this review required.


I enjoyed the work and my job assignment tremendously.  There was never a day that I dreaded going to work.  My co-workers were hard working and enjoyable to work with.  My greatest enjoyment came when I was able to analyze and determine what when wrong when paying a mineral interest owner, guiding those corrections, and helping the interest owner receive the money legally due to them.

I don't believe within the past 4 years that steps were taken to provide the group with good supervision.  The newest supervisor has not supervised before.  The supervisor just prior had not supervised before, and his next job was not in supervision.  It seams like upper management does not value the Owner Relations Unit of ConocoPhillips or the group would have been provided with better supervisors who had the skill to understand interest owner issues.

I feel the company has gone backward.  It should strive more for an area of inclusiveness rather than a stovepipe/protective environment of exclusion.  People should be free to work across organization lines instead of protective of their own work.

The industry has cycles with regards to price/barrel of oil.  Top management should have prepared more for potential downturn instead of causing loyal employees within just a few years of retirement to suffer.

I enjoyed no office environment, very self motivated  so foremen left me to my own devices, the company is now depending more on standards Vs. individuality which helped get the company to get where it is and diminishing the possibility of new innovations. It does take care of it's employees exceptionally well with very good benefits that are disappearing in this modern job world to reduce cost, which in my opinion COP shows it wants to take care/appreciation of it's employees.Had a bad year a while back, had emergency back surgery (not related to work) and was out for a few weeks, sprained foot on a dirt bike (out for 3 days), then was in a horrific car accident (not work related either) that i should have not lived through, and 85% that i'll never walk again, and a TBI so severe my people were informed that I may not have the capacity to work at Mc'D's or be a greeter at wamart! The Short Term Disability kept me from losing everything even though it dropped to 60%, I had my job back after a super quick astounding healing time of 6 months (originally proposed 2+ years), and it was just coming back from vacation plus lots of paperwork. Only a very few companies do similar duties, usually let go w/w out a severance of some sort especially it happening not on company time, so it was awesomely appreciated, so I felt the urge to go above and beyond what was in the job responsibilities.

Started each day with a daily project up date, with all department heads and onshore support. 
Walked the construction work sites to look at both completed work scopes and pending work to be completed with the AMEC G/Fs and Foreman.
Attended daily tool box talks onsite with groups of electrical and instrument personnel.
Discussed with the work force any problems they might be having, this would include the workpack jobcards, materials if any shortfalls were being seen, correct tools being provided to carryout the tasks etc.
The hardest part of the job was getting the right attitudes from all members of the offshore teams, a lot of new faces too the industry, trying to get the best out of what we have. Ensuring that all work was being carried out in a safe manner and too the permit to work system.
The most enjoyable part of the job was seeing good work being carried out in a safe manner, and the work force happy going out and doing the work correctly, with out any rework.
Worked with a good set of AMEC Engineers and support team both Construction and Commissioning on a daily basis.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Insightful and approachable leadership, clear and appropriate standards and values, ethical business dealings, talented coworkers, friendly atmosphere, and fair compensation.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
My job was crisis response and high level media engagement, often under tense circumstance and tight deadlines which were stressful, but that comes with the job description. It is also part of what made the job exciting.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Friendly, accepting, collegial. High performance expectations, appropriate recognition, competitive and talented co-workers, safety was paramount. The campus was smart, modern, clean and functional. A pleasant work environment - one of my best jobs.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Houston-are commutes are tough, but I worked an 8 to 5 kind of day, with plenty of time for interaction with co-workers. Duties varied, which made the job fun and interesting. Some regular meetings and a lot of singular conversations with colleagues in order to accomplish goals and fulfill tactics. A fine cafeteria and other refreshment activities were available. Great health and fitness center as well.

I have my own office in which I can safely interact with site owners & assigned contacts of the web sites/pages I edit.  My immediate supervisor  (the HR manager) is very easy to get along & work with & there is no micro-managing.

My co-workers are also easy to get along with ... since many of them take care of totally different areas of HR, interaction with them is minimal  (unless it is tied to web pages they need updated with new content, links, or documents).  

I really enjoy updating content, links, documents, etc. on the ConocoPhillips sites/pages & also those pages on SharePoint online 2013. I learned quite of bit about SharePoint when I was on the project team just a short time ago -- I never received any formal training but I usually learning by "doing" ... I had created many SharePoint pages from the old formatted pages and, if I had any questions, I would usually ask a super-user ... when I learn something, I usually do not forget  (plus, I always create SOPs so I can reference back to them if I need a reminder of a particular process).

A typical day at work includes planning of daily maintenance tasks in the form of permits, Isolation certificates, risk assessments and electrical work plans. Carrying out isolations for any work scopes onboard that need to be made electrically safe. Completing planned maintenance on all aspects of electrical equipment in a safe and efficient manner and attending to breakdowns of plant and equipment where necessary.
Since joining the team on the LOGGS platform I have gained a vast knowledge and understanding of offshore practices whether it be job specific, safety related or daily running of the platform. I have a good relationship with my managers and co-workers onboard and find a good balance between working and social relationships.
The hardest part of the job is working with ageing and sometimes obsolete equipment, however this is also what makes the job interesting and brings a welcomed challenge to my work.
The most enjoyable aspects of the job are the sense of achievement, the work/life balance, the rewards of working hard and the friendships  gained.

I really enjoyed this job, it was challenging, I made great contributions. I received the highest rating 3 years in a row. I always made excellent use of my time to ensure the organization meet it's goals.  I quickly identified gaps that existed after we lost two contractors and I volunteered to take on additional work so that the secondary cost log would continue to be a valuable tool with credible data and that a vendor reconciliation did not lose momentum.  This resulted in assuming 50-65% of the work done previously by a full-time employee while maintaining all of my previous responsibility.  This was not an easy task but I approached the additional workload by developing a more organized and systematic approach.  As a result I had gained additional skills in using Microsoft Excel.  I also successfully completed a significant vendor reconciliation project with one of our Inspectors, I assisted the vendor in identifying where cash had consistently been applied incorrectly and brought the payment status with the vendor to current.

A mix of what you know and who you know.

Advancement opportunities are available when the Energy industry is doing well, however, if you are looking to grow rapidly within this particular company your goals may be delayed during downturn events.

If you have patience and communication you will earn your way up the ranks.

The hardest part of the job is recognizing an issue that effects everyone and having a possible resolution, but getting someone to listen and take action on it.

The most enjoyable part is the people. The people are friendly and generally courteous - from the security guards all the way up to upper management.

The customers are also a delight to work with most days - everyone has their "bad" days. However, very rarely do you come across any truly bad experiences.

I have learned a lot in my current position and have pursued several areas to obtain a deeper level of understanding. For an entry level professional working on the IT Service Desk here at ConocoPhillips will get you the skills if you're lacking.
