Business Outlook
Pros
You work with the best and brightest people in their fields. Benefits and pay are excellent. The work is challenging rewarding, and exciting to be involved with a major company in developing their assets.
Cons
Layoffs are the downside to working in the oil and gas industry. If you make an error at the wrong time in the business cycle, you are expendable despite your accomplishments. I enjoyed having a lot of autonomy in performing my work, but when I needed advice from my supervisor during a management transition, no one was available.
