Pros
Science-driven, bottom-up culture. Friendly, clever, hard-working and culturally diverse group of people. Lots of interesting projects. Effective strategy of technology and service differentiation in both the core business of seismic imaging & natural resources but also in the fast-growing energy transition and data science sectors. Graduates receive a lot of training and encouragement from their teams. Good benefits and good salary compared to most scientific roles in physics and geoscience. Excellent bonus scheme. Excellent IT & HPC. From a data science perspective, access to a unique and truly massive library of geophysical, geological, environmental and EO data.
Cons
Management can be a bit distant and a little ham-fisted with communication. Workload can be high at times. Natural resources which make up the bulk of work can be cyclical. The same bottom-up culture which is a real strength can also mean some roles are poorly defined and support functions esp. HR feel a little under-resourced.
