Pros

Global company with multiple locations, great packages for expat roles, Upstream O&G industry. If you can get in the Field Engineering program, you will have a great chance of having a wonderful career in the company.

Cons

Local staff get paid very less compared to Expats, Expats were successful in other career tracks, then get promoted into a career track that they no nothing about, i.e. Wireline Field Engineering into HR & pretend that they know it all when in fact, they know little or nothing & damage other people's careers in the process, difficult to gain career traction for local staff, was downgraded as part of an integration process - left as a result.

Pros

This is my first job right after graduation. I am on International Mobile from Pakistan to Latin America (Colombia). - Good Money - Transition to a responsible adult - Financial Independence - Great start to an exciting career - Loads of learning from engineering perspective

Cons

- Management sometimes fails to understand the 'cultural difference' being an IM employee - Lead hands may have worked only in their respective countries and hence, fail to understand you - Lead hands may treat you like 'slaves'
