Pros

The people you work with are good people. The pay is competitive. Great Benefits. Great safety culture.

Cons

They layoff people like they are nothing to them. . Not just average people but people that have been with the company for years. They care more about the shareholder than the people that have spent years of sacrifice trying giving their best for the company. They can care less about that. Even though they have plenty of cash to go through harsh oil market time without having to let go so many people they rather buy Russian oil company than keep their good people. It won't surprise me at all if the company loose it the edge and their so "we are the number one" pride because you can not be the number one by letting so much knowledge and experience go just like nothing.

Excellent training and moving at your own pace. Plenty of vacation allowance.

Cons

Politics in the office are very harmful to the field personnel. Field was always to blame for any failures.
