Pros

great pay, good benefits (especially Houston healthcare system), fantastic work-life balance, global reach (although each region has their own pros/cons), ratable advancement

Cons

Due to the oil and gas industry, roles are typically 9-5 corporate jobs - not that exciting, small scope. You will need to grind away a few years before being placed/qualify for more interesting projects.
