Pros

It's a pretty adventurous life, no routine. If you like that, it is perfect, but you must have the "profile"or it is a living hell. YOu have important responsabilities from the begining, which is motivating. YOu learn a lot and run the show. The opportunities are good, the personal department works with you.

Cons

Work/life balance is pretty much unexistent in the field. Forget about nice food and sleeping. You work 24 hours, and if the well is giving you a hard time hang in there. I believe fot this tyoe of job employees should have more time off instead 5 weeks working for 1 off.
