Pros

You get to work on projects with real scale, e.g, Rumalia, Iraq and Azerbaijan - that are not available outside the supermajors (Shell, Exxon etc). People are willing to teach / mentor junior staff, and the work / life balance is excellent. Pay is okay but not as good as small oil companies.

Cons

It takes a long while to get anywhere, with little opportunity for rapid progression. To get on you've probably got to spend some time working in some fairly unpleasant places. In recent years you get lot less control over what type of jobs you want to do than you did, say, 5 years ago.
