Pros

When it's good it's super fun. Great people and the most diverse staff makes for a very interesting working environment and lifelong friendships on every continent

Cons

When it's bad it's the most degrading place on earth. Layoffs are spreadsheet driven and are formulated from HQ staff that are Clearly out of touch. I find it quite tasteless when I see employees marched out the door with 30 plus years of service. Here's a box please pack your stuff and leave. So far 45k plus ee's not including our new brothers from Cameron who are down almost 50%.

Pros

The benefits were great. Pay was pretty good as well.

Cons

We were lied to and kept out of the loop in regards to the security of our jobs after being "voluntold" to take unpaid days off.

Pros

Training, Technology, Working 5 weeks on 5 weeks off. Traveling around the world never know where you will be on the next trip.

Cons

Ups and downs of Oil Industry. Traveling over 30 years is hard on the family and it takes a special wife and children to be able to handle you being away.
