Pros

Weatherford is a global company with operations pretty much everywhere, so there is scope to travel and or live in new places.

Cons

Weatherford is one of the most complicated organisations I've ever worked for, numerous business units all seemingly working in isolation not knowing what the others are doing, with little communication or direction from senior management (until things are going wrong!). Corporate systems are bureaucratic, with impossible to use online forms/approval systems, and 'one size fits all' mentality from HR, IT and other functions. Constantly changing HR policies, usually for the worse!
