Pros

The pay, benefits, 9/80 schedule, highly competent coworkers, work life balance, and fascinating technology to work with offshore.

Cons

Largely limited to New Orleans or Houston locations, huge company that is slow to make decisions and change, management doesn't communicate very well, performance rankings are more political and popularity contest oriented rather than business impact oriented, ups and downs of oil industry leads to numerous layoffs, IT infrastructure lags basic standards, data management/control is essentially non-existent.

Pros

open-minded and friendly collegues, international opportunities, various training available, mentorship helpful, work-life balance, individual development well respected by managers, well designed training program for graduates

Cons

This is typical for traditional international companies - slow in project progress, lots of paper work and approvals to go through, trival HR related stuff to spend your time on, long meetings to participate everyday and you have to leave late after the working hours to finish your own stuff

Pros

- Great benefits package with a 9/80 schedule - Ability to grow within your role - Thrown to the wolves and forced to learn quickly

Cons

- Highly bureaucratic culture - everyone has their hand in the pot so the decision-making process is somewhat slow - not much opportunity for international assignments at this time
