Pros
An extensive technical expertise is friendly shared and there is Eureka system for knowledge sharing among all employees. Commitment regardless of domain. Easy communication across domains. Competitive bonuses and soft management. A brave new world of innovations in oil&gas industry.
Cons
Ambiguous procedure extrapolated from the field to the office or vice versa. Visit of VPs disrupt workflows in the locations. Reporting and delegation corrupts the tasks across many levels of management, though it is typical for big structures. Most of managers cannot supervise, and in hard times of the project they might try to flood the team with the pointless ways of validation and possible solutions. Cost cuts all around, trainings and travels need to be strongly justified by business needs. Growth through the M&A discourages long-term technical projects.
