      Pros

      amazing field experience and a great company to work for in the early years with early responsibility a good pay package (with field Bonus for wireline)

      Cons

      once you grow, it is very dependent on relationships to grow in the company. Balance of life and family is negligble for continued line managment and moving is every 2 years which destroys stability.

      Good Company to work for.

      Senior geologist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      In my position (not in the field), the hours are fairly flexible unless I have a billable project where I will need to work more than 40 hrs/ week. Access to technology is awesome. Management is very trusting, there is no limit to internet, emails etc; no restrictions. Career flexibility is awesome. I have options to change to management, marketing or personnel. This flexibility can be a plus but also a drawback where technical people stay too short in their technical position, not enough experience to fully understand the oil & gas business.

      Cons

      Pay is not competitive. Bosses change too often. If They make bad policies then they move on without getting consequences of the policies. Too many online QHSE trainings; which keep adding up every year. Some of them are not essential. Some managers are not well equipped being managers.
