Pros

Flexible hours and relaxed workplace. Work-life balance is easy to achieve. Individual employees are for the most part pleasant to work with.

Cons

Disorganized Poor communication to employees Complex organizational structure I felt as though I was not well matched to my project and not given the tools to succeed. Adequate training for complex tasks was not provided.

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
