Pros

- Great Work-Life Balance because of alternate Friday-offs. - High salary compared to other engineering companies. - Most of the supervisors are very friendly and offers advice on how to do certain assignments. - There are lots of company activities like sports tournaments, battle of the bands, community service, dance battles, and annual year-end parties. - There are some Team Leaders where they will assign a few areas to you and you will handle all designs and calculations for that specific area. This leads to fast growth and increased morale for young employees.

Cons

- Favoritism of a few supervisors. - A few supervisors can be unprofessional concerning the treatment of his juniors. - The possibility of getting a full-time position is very low. - Keeping your job depends on the oil prices. Low oil prices equals very few or no projects, which means you'll get laid off even if you are a full-time employee. - Very low salary increase especially if you are a full-time employee. - Depending on the Team Lead, there will be situations where you will only do one assignment for the whole period of the project. This becomes very boring and it will result to a slow growth, and low morale of young employees. - Because almost all projects are large-scale projects, the growth opportunity of young employees are extremely slow compared to other companies.

Pros

Hi visibility projects. Rewarding experiences Competitive Pay

Cons

Sub-bar Project Management team. Condescending at times. Entitled. Sense of superiority. Confusing Hierarchical Structure and chain of reporting. Two managers. Administrative Organizational Unit Manager and a project manager. You report to both. Not flexible at the implementation of latest and most robust design software. Extremely cautious about the implementation of AI, sacrificing productivity and cutting edge competitiveness. Extreme focus on employees training on the companies policies and procedures, but not on the technical development of employees. Do not internally promote, rather they hire from outside for vacant higher positions. Remote workers are considered second class citizens. Not equal to those who work from the office, despite their credentials and pedigrees.
