Pros

Very dynamic environment, they really invest large amount of money on training to be sure each individual is prepared to provide top quality services

Cons

When it comes to money, everything they advertise becomes just a theory. During this downturn they're planning to lay off 9000+ people and they're really getting at it. When things pick back up they'll go through another hassle trying to find someone who's capable of working in the oilfield. Seems like they're really bad at long term planning
