Pros

A truly international company Those who stem from the drilling industry and have been with the company for a while are amongst the best in the business Real "team work" environment created by high caliber coworkers and even customers (excluding senior management) "Fun factor" is evident in local day to day work

Cons

Since going public, BLY has most certainly become a "hire and fire" company. Everything is on a "need to know" basis When times are more difficult you start looking over your shoulder and dread losing your job No effort whatsoever is made to keep talented or experienced work force within the group Every top level decision is taken with only a "short term" outlook in mind, even if the opposite is claimed HR is out of tune with the business

Pros

Consistent scheduling, hours, decent pay for newer people with little experience.

Cons

Management is poor, honestly think they are crooks. They think they are smarter and that your concerns mean little to them.
