      Pros

      - Good Name - Pay is above average for oilfield service companies -

      Cons

      -Pay is alot lower than working for oil and gas company -Low employee morale at product center -Most people are only focused on just their job. If you ask someone to do something a little outside their normal routine then they get flustered -Field personnel are treated like sh*t -Unrealistic deadlines on projects -Everyone is so afraid to make a mistake that no one (including management) will make a firm decision. Its really funny to watch senior management assign action items in meetings because no body wants to do any extra work -This place is all about placing blame when something goes wrong

      I enjoy the multinational working environment but I am upset about the work-life balance as a field engineer.

      Pros

      A lot of chances to travel around the world; they do spend a lot of money on training employee; flat structure for engineers, little politics for non-management population

      Cons

      Recent trend is less days-off and vacation, sometimes engineer has to work two months consecutively without one day off and it is very hard to accept. Oilfield is always a high-risk working place, some engineer has to deal with radioactive sources which is not good for health, especially for women.

      Pros

      The company has a great culture (or so I've heard) of promoting talent internally and providing their talent with opportunities for growth. They still have a more than decent benefits package, when you factor in the economic conditions and general market stability, as compared to other major corporations. The salary is decent and depending on your role, location and group, your work/life balance could go one way or another. They have a great training program and that's one thing that I really appreciate about the company.

      Cons

      Senior Managment, for me, is really terrible. I just landed in a bad situation where my boss is not ideal and my boss's boss, is too busy chasing his own agenda. Sometimes too many job rotations are not a good thing either and it's not necessary that you will always get an offer for a role that you were looking for. Impossible for employees to look for/post to job openings internally.
