Business outlook
Pros
You can travel all over the world, work with different cultures, get paid plenty of money, gain experience very quickly. A good place to get your foot in the door in the oil industry but don't stay too long or the door will close behind you.
Cons
You are overworked and overstressed. Internationals are on a 6-day per week contract, and the phone never stops ringing. You have to make your boss happy and the client happy at all times which can be conflicting at times. The industry in some ways looks down on service companies as a second tier job.
