Any advice, useful info? How’s the culture? Is ageism also pronounced like with other companies in the industry? Was with Exxon before, and I don’t want to have the repeat of the toxicity I experienced there. Was PIPed in the end just as a cover to force me to leave bcs experience and dedication apparently became a burden these days. BH using the same tricks?

stay away from anything reporting to EF or EC. They are snakes and use anything they can against you.
BH is a terrible place to work. Poor management, no strategy, EBs and above all shooting from the hip everyday. Who ever shouts loudest gets promoted quickest. I’d give them a miss. I joined Wood a few years back after being at BH, breath of fresh air. That Lorenzo chap is a clown with a bunch of circus acts below him creating a toxic culture and environment.
the secret is in the curry my fren
Why do Indian employees do so well in baker?
Sounds like you are a more…err…Mature Worker, so my advise is to leave well alone, especially if you are looking to play the long game, because BH aren’t Long Gamers.
BH want something for nothing, so would rather take on new Grad’s who are eager to please, at a fraction of the price.
Anyway, those Old Timers who smelt the coffee took the King’s Shilling long ago, smart as they were, & those who didn't are on shaky ground.
However, New Grad’s looking to get a foot in the door, & looking to play the short game for experience before moving on, are more than welcome – BH has a place in their hearts for you.
Best of luck with your job search.
Toxic work environment stay clear.
You have the answer in your question itself, dude.
Fake employees with fake degrees. Why am I still working here I need to get out.
Before I hit the bed, one last comment for Mr. Detective:
‘If you can’t do your job, no worries! Someone else will gladly take over—maybe an Indian, South American, African, Southeast Asian, European, or even another talented American. So don’t get too frustrated, take a deep breath, upskill yourself and do yourself a favor - find another job. 😂’
See you tomorrow, Mr. Detective.
In fact, I don’t claim Baker is the best employer. I suggest using it only as a stepping stone to move forward. Who else is going to stay here forever, except a few conspiracy theorists like you? After 20 years of doing nothing and then complaining “Indians are taking my job… meh meh meh” - A Baker Indian employee (for now 😂)
Wow, your detective skills are impressive. 😅 However, I am an employee from India, and I’m curious to know why you think otherwise. Just because of the message? Dude, wake up from your cave; it’s 2024. It’s amazing how a simple post can stir such conspiracy theories like yours. Perhaps next time, try to use your energy for constructive contributions instead. You can do it 🤞 😂 - A Baker Indian employee
@1fea+1tMX8zAD Highly doubtful you are "A Baker Indian Employee."
Based on your communications skills, it appears that the company paid an outside firm a lot of money to compose this B.S. and leader$hit / H.R. is providing the fake up votes.
As stated in the tagline of The X Files....."The Truth is Out There." So, you and the rest of the Shills please stop posting the balderdash, to counter the REALITY !
Never worked for BH, but judging by the rejects they hired from TFMC, SLB, and WFT, run!!!!. LOLOLOL
Hey OP, STOP thinking and apply........... if you enjoy getting $krewed like the former employees, or the current employees that are soon to become former employees.
If you have low skill and poor education then this place is for you buddy.
The question sounds like a sort of trolling. If you are an old dude looking for job and received an offer from a giant like BH you grab it and try to stay employed with their good benefits as long as possible. Or you really considering turning the offer down and are going to keep searching?
The GEiffication process is is almost complete. Hail to the Dear Leaders!
Don't do it. They have mass indiscriminate layoffs every 12-18 months. They prioritize laying off experience and keeping DEI hires who contribute nothing but command lower salaries. Morale is essentially 0, they stack the workload on remaining employees to pick up the slack. After the last round of layoffs a lot more people decided they were done and either retired early or went elsewhere.
Maria has destroyed the company culture, it's probably getting reshaped for a buyout.
It’s clear that this comment comes from a frustrated ex-employee, and I can understand where they’re coming from. Many companies, including Baker, have faced similar challenges in recent years, particularly in efforts to cut costs and stay competitive in a global market. The practice of outsourcing jobs to countries like India, South America, China, and Indonesia has been prevalent for quite some time and is likely to continue.
It’s also important to recognize that Baker is an oil company operating in a highly competitive and fluctuating industry. Just as other major companies adapt to their markets, Baker must do the same. Imagine if companies in regions like the Middle East decided to exclusively work with local firms, sidelining many talented individuals from around the world, including the US. This scenario highlights the global nature of business today.
In my opinion, Baker still offers valuable opportunities. It’s a place where you can gain significant experience and develop your skills. However, it might be wise to view it as a stepping stone rather than a long-term destination. By doing so, you can avoid becoming too comfortable and potentially facing the same frustrations as those who have been with the company for over a decade. Embrace the learning opportunities, grow professionally, and be prepared to move on to new challenges when the time is right. - A Baker Indian Employee
Terrible place to work, started going downhill about 10 years ago. Moral is non-existent, “do more with less and less“ is the motto. Putting new junk out that doesn’t work, and repairing 20 year old junk with parts scrapped together. Current layoffs are aimed at eliminating all the productive experienced staff to replace with outsourced cheap Indians.
Imagine you’re a chicken who just moved to a new farm for some tastier feed. To the farmer, you’re just another drumstick on legs, and you could be plucked out of the coop at any moment. Meanwhile, the Italian Mafia is lurking outside, ready to turn you into their next BBQ. Stay alert!
Try to got for the Big blue- its cyclic and what I heard , true or not, they are gearing up for another buy out and top bosses to make loads of bonus , so avoid if you can - if you enter into Houston office, try learning spanish - if you dont , or put a latin name that would go long way oe become an italian - harsh reality but truth
All of the above, so avoid.
Job security also a big issue, BH are masters in making small but frequent lawoffs, so they don't have to inform the Labour Authorities.
