"After talking with the various recruiters, I realized that Newfield was the right fit for me. I liked the technical review process and the team-oriented environment of getting things done. The environment allows you to not only learn from your own experiences, but from those of your teammates as well. It is a good place to be because, early on, you get to see lots of things and really learn the business."

"I worked for major oil companies for about 20 years before joining Newfield five years ago. It’s different, no doubt. The pace is quick and you’re given lots of responsibility, but it’s rewarding. For our new hires, we provide formal training. But the most beneficial training is hands-on, in the field application of everything you’ve learned in school, and then some. You get put to work fast here and you really start making an impact in short order."

"I joined Newfield after spending several years with a major oil company. I came here to drill wells, period. We have a fast-paced environment and we are all focused on getting the job done. You have the freedom to work at your pace and style and your ideas make it through your department directly to senior management. The experience and exposure makes this a great place to work."
