Pros
Over the 7 years I worked there, I saw the company grow from a small, upstart with big dreams. They wanted to be the biggest and the best and they had very deep pockets to fund those dreams. I got to work all over the world, with the best ROVs in he industry, and for awhile, got paid pretty damn well.
Cons
The company got too big, and the upper management had no clue how to run an ROV company, or how to hold on to the managers that did know how. They thought they could throw money and people at any problem, so we had a huge office staff that had its own support staff. The shoreside support forgot who they were supposed to be supporting. It became a combative environment and every time your ops guy called you cringed, unless you were one of the chosen people who could do no wrong. Ultimately, the parent company kept a stranglehold of control on how the company did business, even though they had no clue how an ROV company differs from a supply boat company. That and the fact that the Chouest family are a bunch of greedy crooks that would sell babies by the bucket if they could.
