          Pros

          - great benefits and relocation support - generally very-low pressure - just do your thing attitude - interesting work

          Cons

          - unprofessional work environment, lack or responsibility - company waiting for disaster to happen, management off-script bragging about past failures, which is result of not knowing what they are doing - with a few exceptions, not knowledgable management, humanoids blessed to be in executive position - management and employees largely not being able to articulate and write properly, which affects communication - expect harassed employees to go first. - C-suite buddies despite complete incompetence stay forever, just do what the boss says. - what happens off-shore stays offshore, the captain has nothing to say when management divas come onboard, a complete non-sense environment - people will not complain or say anything as they are not qualified to do any other jobs and those jobs pay well - diversity is a joke; when people are fired people of color go first. Offshore unspoken segregation is a daily reality. If you chat or intermingle you will not be favored. There will be a few differentiators, but this is for the show and a few PR pictures. - generally toxic work environment - a lot of house-of-cards politics; back-stabbing, etc.

                    Cons

                    Sadly, in general there is not much future for traditional oil and gas/ deep water rigs- not the best industry to be in right now.

                        Cons

                        To many onshore managers that don’t know the job but try to run the job from land. Always watching everything we do on cameras trying to micromanage how we complete task. Way to much paper work and procedures and policies. Overworked and undermanned.

                      Alex L.

                      Applied for a job a few weeks back, got a call from HR yesterday morning about an interview next week. She mentioned she'd shoot me an email with all the interview details, but so far, my inbox is empty. Assuming I'll hear from her early next week, is it normal for them to expect me to show up for an in-person interview on short notice, like couple days?
