Pros

Salary to not make you look towards all the cons

Cons

Managers have zero knowledge and cannot care less about their teams. Everyone is just caught in a rat race. Only 1% employees have substance and knowledge, rest are just talking their way out of difficult situations. Once the oil industry falls, which it will sooner or later, you will find yourself without substantial expertise in one specific field which significantly diminishes your employability in the long run.

Great Company

Pros

You have to put up with all the large company BS: politics, big egos in management, bureaucratic processes that slow everything down, etc. But, all said, the company takes good care of employees, work-life balance is great, and safety is hammered into everyone - whether they like it or not.

Cons

As I said in 'pros', above: the bureaucracy of the large company is a negative. Hard to get away from that. There are also some jerks at high levels. Again, a symptom of the corporate environment.
