Pros
Weatherford International promotes international travel depending on the product line, to some very interesting places like Brazil, Singapore, USA, Poland to name a few.
Cons
Certain field employees do not receive holiday pay due to an outdated rolled up holiday policy. Although Weatherford offers relocation assistance for new assignments, it appears local management try to get away with helping as little as possible. Be sure to make sure you have the right information from the begining - Is it a permenant/temporary position - Is there a job at the end of it - will there be help with repatriation - Review the official company policy. From personal and witnessing experiences, holidays are not approved until the last minute and on occassions due to poor planning and management, have been denied the day before a holiday was due to start. While I appreciate that Weatherford is a service company, Weatherford management need to appreciate that the services are provided by human beings and not robots. It is not possible for people to work 24/7/365. People need to rest and recover, returning from a job at 5AM and to be told to be at work by mid-day does not provide employees time for rest (just one example of a recent occurance, not to me I might add....).
