Pros

The salaries paid in the Middle East are very good. Company-supplied living quarters are excellent. However, long drives both ways to/from the work site mean very early starts and late returns to the living quarters.

Cons

Location - the Middle East is the worst place in the world to work. This is as much for weather conditions as it is politics. Six-day work weeks are too much. A person should have 2 days off to recuperate after the long, hot days during the week.

Pros

Good for starting and ending a career in engineering — solid training and plenty of software available. Good benefits and WLB.

Cons

Most projects are PreFEED, so lots of generic work, and they tend to overhire for these projects. It’s hard to make it to the middle ranks here because of the overhiring and layoff on contract loss cycle. The 980 schedule is actually meant to be a 10-hr day, as they began to emphasize the importance of taking lunch. TOWP and sick days are lumped together and earned on an accrued basis, so vacation days are valuable in the beginning. You can be paid your vacation days at the end, too, when your salary is higher… the consequence is that people come in sick all the time.
