A good job but some concerns

Geophysicist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Most people here are very nice and have a good work ethic. A good group of people to surround yourself with. The work is interesting and challenging enough.

Cons

Within seismic imaging you are learning a niche skillset that is tied to a cyclical industry. All tools you will use are in-house tools, nothing transferrable. No one is hired except grads in Crawley seismic imaging. Survivorship bias means the culture is one of people who stick around and hope for a promotion or a pay rise. Don't expect to negotiate anything, at least not for the first few years. Culture within seismic imaging Crawley shows very little resistance to unpaid overtime. Expect to average 37.5hr/wk if you are organised and good at prioritisation but also expect to occasionally go over 40. UK job security outside of the main functions (oil & gas services) is poor. The profit from the core functions is used to scattergun search for a business model outside of oil & gas but the vast majority of these fail.

Pros

In the early years, this was a great place to work with a strong culture, supportive leadership, and opportunities for growth. Talented and hardworking colleagues.

Cons

Over time, the culture shifted, and management dynamics made difficult to maintain the same level of engagement. Less open communication and increasing workplace friction
