Pros

Very good compensation and benefits.

Cons

The performance system is designed to reward people who bested their peers. Culture is cut throat and competitive. Politics is critical to succeed for all levels of the hierarchy. Backstabbing is a norm. Have not met a person who doesn't know the exact date they can retire with full pension.

An Engineer's Review

Pros

The pay and benefits package for an engineer straight out of college is incomparable. It is difficult to think of any other paid profession that will pay as much as an O&G engineering jon right out of college. Women get paid maternity leave (3 months) and vacation starts off at 28 days a year.

Cons

Work is super intense. If you are working in an Operations role, you will work weekends - guaranteed. Work hours can be anywhere from 10 to 16 hours a day, depending on whether you are working onshore or offshore. Also, there is a stacked ranking system which has its own pros and cons - more so cons than pros in my opinion. High fliers are identified early (in their first year) and for the most part, will be placed on an accelerated career path. Individuals not identified as high fliers in the beginning will rarely be placed on a fast track towards upper management, even if competency increases exponentially later on in their career.

Pros

Job security if you can put up with all of the bureaucracy. I have to write more words for this review to be accepted

Cons

You get crapped on, every single day, by weak and ineffective management. The safety culture is insulting to anyone with half a brain
