Pros

Great opportunity to grow professionally and personally, international company staffed with international people, great place to spend part or all of your career in the oil and gas business

Cons

It is a lifestyle, not a job (this is a pro as well), extreme flexibility required on the part of your family, some of the locations are not the most attractive to everyone.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
