Pros

Leader in the field of oil drill bits. A great location - The Woodlands

Cons

Below market compensation package. A very narrowly focused engineering skill use, basically in CAD and metallurgy (largely due to the narrow product focus). Less racial and ethnic diversity at higher management level even though the company is pretty global. For an engineer, career/salary progression is dependent on gaining field/marketing experience.

Pros

Competent management, excellent benefits, competitive pay, and a work life balance that is impossible to compete with

Cons

The totem pole of management is so monumentally tall that the mid and upper management make decisions affecting those on the bottom with no real understanding of what the consequences of their decision are.
