Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at CGG full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
In the past there has been plenty of opportunity for growth and movement within the company. It has provided a good work environment with the opportunity to travel and also relocate.
Cons
Unfortunately with the seismic industry, at least marine streamer, in decline the company has gone through a number of downsizing periods over the last few years which has made it difficult to remain upbeat and positive.
