Employees say
“I enjoy the size of Kosmos. Our abilities and expertise enable us to do things that most companies our size can’t. We are able to stay flexible and small without sacrificing business opportunities or where we want to go as a company. Our size also allows us to avoid a lot of the politics or bureaucracy of a big company.”
“I enjoy working with the people in my department, and I enjoy working on frontier, world-class exploration.”
“I have the flexibility to work from home if needed and to pursue advanced training for advancement here at the company.”
Good works
Kosmos has monthly volunteer days at the North Texas Food Bank, supports the Buckner Home for Children, sponsors exhibits at the Dallas Museum of Art and founded the Kosmos Energy Stem Teacher Institute at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science.
Fun facts
Every Wednesday, Kosmos has lunch delivered from a local restaurant for the entire company, and it provides a companywide breakfast every Friday.
