Pros: The hybrid work model is a decent perk for a big corporate company. I can WFH a couple days a week. That really helps with my commute in Houston, TX.
Cons: But being a Project Coordinator in the oil and gas industry means project demands override that quickly. I often have to come in on 'WFH days' for critical meetings. The work flexibility isn't always reliable.
Advice to Management: Try to standardize the hybrid model better for project-based roles. Give teams more autonomy to plan their onsite days around actual project needs, not just a blanket policy.

Pros: They do offer a hybrid model now, which is a plus for the Houston, TX office. It's usually 3 days in the office, 2 WFH, which is decent for many engineering roles. There's some minor flexibility with start and end times too, if you clear it with your manager.
Cons: However, the flexibility isn't really there beyond the standard hybrid schedule. As a Project Engineer, you're often expected to be fully onsite for specific subsea projects or client meetings, limiting your WFH days. It feels a bit restrictive for a big corporate energy sector company.
Advice to Management: Consider offering more true flexibility, especially for roles where onsite isn't strictly necessary. Trust your employees more with their schedules, particularly for long-term project planning.
