Pros

Good tools, interesting challenges, flexi-hours. Management at location generally very good, compensation good. Training opportunities in new technologies has improved in recent years.

Cons

Oil company...they don't appear to have a strategy to grow the company beyond oil & gas. Very short term vision, no mention of moving into renewable's or anything outside current expertise. Low morale at the moment after lots of job cuts. Training requirement for senior hires and PhD's (from outside oil background) can be frustrating to say the least.
