Pros

Global company with multiple locations, great packages for expat roles, Upstream O&G industry. If you can get in the Field Engineering program, you will have a great chance of having a wonderful career in the company.

Cons

Local staff get paid very less compared to Expats, Expats were successful in other career tracks, then get promoted into a career track that they no nothing about, i.e. Wireline Field Engineering into HR & pretend that they know it all when in fact, they know little or nothing & damage other people's careers in the process, difficult to gain career traction for local staff, was downgraded as part of an integration process - left as a result.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
