Pros
* Good for petroleum/geoscience experts in field engineer / technical sales or product management positions * Comprehensive training at all stages * Regular career follow-up, and true possibility to voice own expectations * Fair compensation * Smart people, some ambitious people
Cons
* SIS (software branch) is not fully same as other branches, comments for other branches may not apply.. * IT/Software people are maybe less considered than petroleum professionnals, and R&D/Tech center people maybe less than people in operations. This is visible in management structure, since top management often stems from the field. * Saw many people want to move quickly away from technical to be in middle management. And, lots of managers to lead technical staff. * Must adhere to strong culture and to processes, or leave
