      Pros

      -Good specialized training -Decent benefits -Good pay depending on where in the world you work -If you like it, lots of travelling to many places

      Cons

      -Definitely NO work/life balance -Be ready to become their "tool", i.e., they will do whatever they want with your career unless you have a powerful godfather -Few transferable skills gained as FE (unless you go and work for another oilfield services company) -Power struggles between national "mafias" can really make your life miserable -Highly cyclical industry means no job security -Full of contradictions; policies (specially the QHSE ones) say one thing, reality says another

      Pros

      Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

      Cons

      Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
