Vantaggi
Money (particularly if you are male) There were some great technical people, were... however if you don't like thinking, enjoy doing what you are told and can turn a blind eye to your morals then this is the place for you. Good maternity leave (and now better paternity leave) but being a female also means you clearly weren't born intellectually capable and you will progress at half the speed of your male peers.
Svantaggi
Bullying culture from the top down. Do what you are told or they will find someone that will. They seem to believe their own stories, resembles little of what happens on the ground... but then only good news is allowed. You can no longer question anything, the science, the project or the prospect. Questioning or looking for discussion means you are 'not on the bus'. You can look forward to a public shout down. Technical review of projects became synonymous with roadblocks and were no longer considered necessary. Sexist toxic masculinity, the patriarchy at its best. Constant redundancies... you will never feel, or be, secure. If you make 12months without a restructure that would be a record. Have a think about the difference between emirates and tiger air.... Santos was like emirates and is now 'the lowest cost onshore operator'. Quality = time x money. There are now fewer staff doing more work with less experience and less money. The only leadership is cost. Don't think you will see any other kind. You will not be a person, just a number.
