Pros

By the end of the year you end up making very good money in comparison to other engineers in other industries.

Cons

You’re hardly an engineer more like an oil field technician despite being paid less than people with less responsibilities. The coworkers can be toxic and feel like you need to share their misery in order for them to respect you. The company suddenly decided that they want to pay you less before you’re even about to get promoted. Big egos everywhere who talk about lack of leadership but aren’t anywhere near a good model themselves.

Pros

Flexible, hybrid work. Good enough salary.

Cons

Pay cut to come into the office, followed by stagnant wages, No upward mobility or career growth. Oil cycle business. Booms are not as good as they were. No forward planning by management, only firefighting Massive increase in workload coupled with massive decrease in pay when going into the office.
