Pros

Very competent and knowledgeable managers and supervisors. Relaxed environment that allows an employee their space. Good benefits. Almost everyone is willing to answer questions and help.

Cons

HR runs the show and they take every opportunity to make sure we know this. Rules that applies to everyone else does not apply to them. Training program is extremely arcaic and not streamlined. This makes it very difficult to learn products with no available references. You just go by what someone tries to explain in five minutes. Some very snobbish individuals who are so full of themselves, on both the technical and non technical sides. Not willing to reward financially, the organization is run by accountants, not innovators.

Pros

The pay. Other then that it kinda sucks. Working for 30 days straight gives little time to see the family. Not to mention the fact that it seems that everyday you might end up working on the other side of the world. This includes places such as Angola, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Brazil... Some of these places are far too dangerous for my liking. Also, I find it hard to believe that there are so few people older then me working here, and im only 24. I rarely have an influence on the decision making process and i hate that.

Cons

Planning your entire life around the job.

Pros

Most of us are former Halliburton/Schlumberger employees who left for good reasons. We get along very well and seem to keep the good things from our competitors but leave much of the baggage. Bonus pay is very competitive.

Cons

No company stock purchase plan as of yet. Some of our equipment is old, but R&D is dealing with that.
