Pros

- Smart colleagues, from diverse backgrounds, from diverse countries - Excellent package, attractive mobile contract for those with full worldwide mobility - Career opportunities, lateral moves to discover other functions, geographical moves, transition to managemeht or other functions with guidance and trainings, technical career track with regular promotions - Technical company, managers come mostly from Engineering - High-tech, technical challenges

Cons

- Lots of politics, at some point everything turns out to be relational, high risk to be stuck or to be assigned the most boring tasks if not entering the game - Heavy processes, standardization, slow engine - In some teams, micromanagement, poor initiative opportunities, work pressure - Limited career prospects if no background/experience in geosciences, strong presence of former field engineers in management

Pros

technical excellence and training are at your fingertips. people are open minded and there is a true community culture, sharing best practices worldwide. LEAN principles. borderless careers. objectives-oriented plans. yearly open performance reviews and incentives. the higher you go on the hierarchy, the smarter the people get - promise!

Cons

HR is the achille's heel: new positions are given with no warning, although all the time to adapt needed is provided. there is no transparency about salaries across the company, HR is usually obscure to reach frank information about your status.
