Great when oil price is high very bad during oil bust

Reservoir engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Development, broad opportunities, technical practice/roles, and above average transparent promotion when oil price is high.

Cons

Staff and newer management generally lack business/economics understanding & practice, cut-throat and success mostly depends if you land on the right asset/field, extreme politics during oil price drop/bust and priority given to European & inexperienced/new hires at the expense of US citizens & experienced staff. Lay-offs were above 50% in Upstream/E&P side in New Orleans office based on last numbers I had access to before I stopped caring to track .
