Pros

fast learning curve at the beginning for all non-geophysicist major employer low salary for entry level, but could get raised faster than other companies.

Cons

Fear driven working environment, firing old/handicap/boss in-favored processing imager without any legit reason, while still hiring cheap labor - new graduates Super long working hour. There are always people worked from 9am until 5am next day. High stress, high anxiety. Some leader will call you anytime for work. Hiring most international Phd students, because they can push them work hard for the sake of Green Card. No career development for seismic imager/processor. Once you are in-favored by your director, there are no chance for any promotion.

Pros

Viridien is a great company to work for, with a positive and professional working environment. The company has a strong international footprint, a diverse mix of nationalities and backgrounds, and a good balance of technical depth and business ambition. Colleagues are friendly, collaborative, and highly capable, and the leadership team is generally accessible and open to discussion. The work can be challenging and intellectually interesting, especially for people who enjoy technical, global, and client-facing environments.

Cons

Career progression could be much clearer and more structured. Promotion paths, development plans, and expectations for advancement are not always easy to understand, which creates uncertainty for employees who want to grow within the company. Salaries are also slightly below market average in some areas, and compensation should remain competitive to retain strong talent. Like many global technical companies, priorities can also shift quickly, so clearer communication and consistency would help.
