Pros

- Smart colleagues, from diverse backgrounds, from diverse countries - Excellent package, attractive mobile contract for those with full worldwide mobility - Career opportunities, lateral moves to discover other functions, geographical moves, transition to managemeht or other functions with guidance and trainings, technical career track with regular promotions - Technical company, managers come mostly from Engineering - High-tech, technical challenges

Cons

- Lots of politics, at some point everything turns out to be relational, high risk to be stuck or to be assigned the most boring tasks if not entering the game - Heavy processes, standardization, slow engine - In some teams, micromanagement, poor initiative opportunities, work pressure - Limited career prospects if no background/experience in geosciences, strong presence of former field engineers in management
