Business Outlook
Pros
Good training, decent pay, good travel benefits, good time off, rigs all over the world. The benefits are also great in terms of insurance, 401k match, and pension.
Cons
Very political system; your job promotion depends more on brown nosing to your boss than reaching TD. Also, it takes an act of God to vary from the drilling program. The only way to get anything done is to keep it quiet. There are WAY too many rules. The US military works because they empower their sergeants. Exxon pretends to be the military, but they just managed to get the bureaucracy part.
