Pros

Salary, benefits—can’t think of any other pros

Cons

Poor communication. HR is in Bogota, so it’s almost impossible to get someone to speak with you. They forgot to pay me and it took a month to get it sorted out. They put someone else’s SSN on my paperwork, which affected my benefits and my taxes—still trying to get my tax situation sorted out. The instructors were bias and the training was very poor.

Pros

Provide sufficient amount of training for fresh out and non-Oil & Gas comers, and it's repetitive. So you will eventually standard safety mind set after few years which is very critical for working in Oil & Gas Industry

Cons

French World (The way they handle problems, promotion, policy, and people are very much French Bureaucratic Way) by French managers in key management role. This company is definately good company to start your career in Oil & Gas, but after 10 years not so much. This company focuses mainly on people below 35 years old. After 10 years working there, the company automatically identify you as a safe employee (never quit), so they provide not much attention or promotion to them. Some French management is very rude. In the meeting room in Houston, they sometimes speak only French at the begging, even though majority of the attendees were non-French speaking.

Pros

Good exposure to technology, good company operating system, good gas system.

Cons

Disorganized management, schedule is erratic especially when you’re a new hire, promotions not made by merit but by “exposure” to the office, really good DAs are overlooked for progression so they can keep the project running.
