Excellent company and culture, with excellent benefits, offers many opportunities for career development. Employees who are mobile may have opportunities for international assignments.

Due to the cyclical nature of the oil and gas sector, there are periods during the downturn when employees are worried about layoffs and it does affect employee morale and engagement.
