Pros

Good pay for just getting out of college. Decent Benefits. For engineers there is a 3 year step program that has to be followed. FET, FE1, FE2, GFE. The training is very good. They prepare you for line management.

Cons

Engineers, plan on getting transferred within in your first couple of years. No time for family friends. It was pretty tough the first couple of years with a wife and kid. I would work 100+ hrs a week with no sleep. Oil and gas is 365-24/7. You will miss holidays and weddings. Very time consuming. But, in the end the quality of training trumped all of that.
