Pros

-Good specialized training -Decent benefits -Good pay depending on where in the world you work -If you like it, lots of travelling to many places

-Definitely NO work/life balance -Be ready to become their "tool", i.e., they will do whatever they want with your career unless you have a powerful godfather -Few transferable skills gained as FE (unless you go and work for another oilfield services company) -Power struggles between national "mafias" can really make your life miserable -Highly cyclical industry means no job security -Full of contradictions; policies (specially the QHSE ones) say one thing, reality says another
