Pros

Great benefits and great (above industry standard) pay. Solid and competent personnel and great opportunities (at least before the oil crash occurred)

Cons

Heavily matrixed organization with rather slow decision making. Available cash is limited due to oil crash and BG merger - resulted in a drastic decline of projects and hence project management roles. The end of this challenging period is not in sight.

Pros

Big company, good work-life balance, good compensation, good training program, and good projects if you are in the right team

Cons

The major problem in oil & gas industry: everything goes well if the oil price is high and everyone chooses to do more politics if the oil price is low.
