Vantaggi
If you want a "scientific RnD" job in Singapore in oil and gas, this is probably the biggest group, size of 30.
Svantaggi
Bad local management. Always come up with self made company rules. If you are an ex-employee from a seismic processing firm, are an old schoolmate, they will put all good things on you, no matter working ability. If not, do not expect any promotion, reasonable salary adjustment, training, and even flexible working schedule to open to you. You will overwork a lot on irrelevant side tasks. Take lower pay compared to colleagues in other country for more delivery expectation. Very far office location and day and night meetings to report same things over and over. They never really allow people to relocate to US as they claim. They cannot get benefits like other department. The job is not about innovation, but cleaning up mess on old problematic technology or investigate whether random idea that comes to head. You are pressured to include many names in disclosures they never participated. They block visibility and they take away your technical credit. If you are more capable than them, they find way to force you out. If you stay here for too long, your experience and skillset becomes too distant from outside market.
