Pros

-Positions in short-term mobility groups have higher earning potential due to relocation benefits and COL stipends -Most employees and management are friendly and fairly relaxed -Overall very positive company culture -Good job stability and layoffs are rare for staff employees -Decent benefits -Opportunities to pursue projects and further personal development through the company -Well designed and executed safety program with very large buy-in from upper management

Cons

-Little control over locations of assignments in short-term mobility groups -Base pay, relocation benefits, and COL stipends lower than similar companies -Interactions with management can be very political, and connections within the company can be more important than experience and competence -Unclear paths for upward advancement with few objective metrics for performance -Good aspects of company culture are often lost at the project level, and your overall experience is heavily affected by operating group and project assignments -Inconsistent execution of company-wide programs across projects and operating groups -Bad and underperforming employees almost never get fired on the staff side -Many people coasting by in the company with no desire to further their growth or improve operations -Safety program execution and buy-in can be horrible at individual projects
