Pros
- the internship program ensures that assigned projects add value to the team and teaches the intern useful skills - great work/life balance (9/80 schedule, flexible work hours, taking vacations is promoted & not frowned upon) - the culture promotes people to mentor each other (mentoring programs are available, new-employee development programs are mandatory) - moving to a different or higher position is very possible if you have the experience and the network of people
Cons
Working in the oil & gas business is not a stable position to be in, especially as an intern. Open positions are limited and highly competitive among the students. In order to get to the position you want to be in, you have to know people that are willing to stick their neck out for you (and vice versa).
