Pros

Multicultural environment with good opportunities to travel. Very good salary.

Cons

Professional knowledge and experience are not valued, they just care about silly things. As an example you can make real progress in the company by just making safety presentations, but forget about challenge. Once somebody told me to be aware of the golden handcuffs, they pay so well that even though your work sucks, you cannot leave it. The stupidity goes to such a level that they even put full size poster of a character called safetyman giving safety advices, I even had to see a coworker with a custom as safety man, with leggings and everything, kind of mediocre superman.

Pros

- compensation - compensation - compensation - that is the only pro.

Cons

- extremely traditional and old school. job openings do not get publicly announced. - promotions happen through a "secret" committee. - forced ranking for performance management - no regard to work/life balance. I was working 80-100 hours a week. 40 in the field and 40 in the office. - forced relocations. you can negotiate to stay in your current geography but promotions will not happen if you choose this. - you feel like you work for exxonmobil. you never feel like you ARE exxonmobil - no published org chart

Pros

Well it is good place to start your carrier here.

Cons

If you would like to be promoted you need to be the best in safet, which I think ridiculous. Also not professional environment at all.
