Pros

I loved the Paris office- the location and surroundings were amazing. The people in my department were very friendly, and the pace of work was relaxed. We had team meetings every morning around the coffee machine with free croissants!

Cons

The set up in the office was quite old school- everyone has a separate office. I was only there for a stage, so I'm not sure what promotions were possible etc.

Pros

Good career opportunity for junior and middle management. Strong team culture, plenty of training and development opportunities. International exposure.

Cons

Very demanding company in terms of performance. International exposure could have negative impact on the personal life. Increasingly political atmosphere especially at the upper management.

Pros

Good salary, good benefit including health plan, the career path is well defined, traveling around the globe and the training is simply awesome.It's a good company to start a career fresh from school especially if you are not married and don't have family.

Cons

Some mentors are not willing to give it all to the trainees especially if you are an Engineer trainee and the mentor is a Specialist .Paper work in some segments like Westerngeco is just too much of work (some of them are just outdated) and worst case is the way people are getting laid off, it's so annoying. Get ready for a disgraceful layoff using a phone call while you are spending your time off.
