Pros

A lot of chances to travel around the world; they do spend a lot of money on training employee; flat structure for engineers, little politics for non-management population

Cons

Recent trend is less days-off and vacation, sometimes engineer has to work two months consecutively without one day off and it is very hard to accept. Oilfield is always a high-risk working place, some engineer has to deal with radioactive sources which is not good for health, especially for women.
