Pros

Salary to not make you look towards all the cons

Cons

Managers have zero knowledge and cannot care less about their teams. Everyone is just caught in a rat race. Only 1% employees have substance and knowledge, rest are just talking their way out of difficult situations. Once the oil industry falls, which it will sooner or later, you will find yourself without substantial expertise in one specific field which significantly diminishes your employability in the long run.

Workloads can be demanding, and priorities can shift quickly based on operational needs. Decision-making processes can be slow due to organizational complexity, and geographic mobility may be necessary for certain career opportunities.
