Great place to work if you can keep up with the work pressure and competitive co-workers
Pros
- great salary - one of the very few companies that offered rotational work = work/life balance - very thorough initial training - rotational promotions through QC, remote logging and remote geosteering - $250 additional credit to buy merchandise
Cons
- very tense atmosphere. mudloggers would worry about getting fired after a simple number switch on a well name in a report. - would fire people for the smallest things - introduced tests to basically weed out the more inexperienced (4 months in) and less knowledgeable mudloggers. had to get more than 80% pass the first time, then 90% pass the second time. if failed both times, you get terminated. knew many people who barely scraped a pass the second time round. or would take pictures of the questions the first time so they revised for the second time. some mudloggers had much earlier deadlines than others to complete the test. - pressure from geologists who'd complain non-stop
