Pros

Training: Their fresh-out training is great. For mid-career employees there are a lot of virtual training available but there is not much structure. Career: They are good at recognizing talent and giving people chances in different roles. They are willing to pay take chances on people to give them a well rounded career. Pay: Compared to Operators they will pay less but overall they pay well and have good perks. Oil and Gas as a whole tends to pay quite well.

Cons

They are always laying off. You will work very hard with little work life balance.
