Pros

- Good work / life balance - Friendly people - Great pension plan

Cons

- Overly complicated processes -- like working on an assembly line -- getting things done takes forever because you need to go through 20 different specialist teams/departments -- made even worse by outsourcing more and more processes to external providers - A lot of unmotivated people that do the bare minimum to stay employed tends to be discouraging and frustrating to those who do want to do a good job

Pros

- Lots of training opportunities (courses etc) - Lots of career opportunities if you actively seek it

Cons

- Lots of office politics - Not much of a diversity (graduates mostly come from the same school/alumni for particular subsurface disciplines) - Team results not important, individual performance is, so people tend to go for maximum visibility work, not necessarily focusing on their technical work
