Pros
I felt proud working for the top oilfield services company in the world. They also compensate you well, and the experience looks really good on your resume. Their training program is excellent.
Cons
It's really hard to have a work-life balance. The jobs can last a really long time, and you have to be there when they're ready for you to start, but they often don't know when that'll be ahead of time. This means you might be sleeping in the bed of a pick-up out in the middle of a desert until they decide they're ready for you. Also, even if they tell you you're on a rotating schedule, you might never get the time off that they told you you would.
