Pros

Provide sufficient amount of training for fresh out and non-Oil & Gas comers, and it's repetitive. So you will eventually standard safety mind set after few years which is very critical for working in Oil & Gas Industry

Cons

French World (The way they handle problems, promotion, policy, and people are very much French Bureaucratic Way) by French managers in key management role. This company is definately good company to start your career in Oil & Gas, but after 10 years not so much. This company focuses mainly on people below 35 years old. After 10 years working there, the company automatically identify you as a safe employee (never quit), so they provide not much attention or promotion to them. Some French management is very rude. In the meeting room in Houston, they sometimes speak only French at the begging, even though majority of the attendees were non-French speaking.
