Pros
Staff is pretty relaxed if you work in NAG i thought. People are friendly. Before the oil price change lots of lunch and learns and therefore free lunches. I think it is easy to go and do something that is not asked for by the maneger and its ok. You do get lots of training, and I think it is the best in the industry. In the good times when oil was at a good price it was easy to travel with relatively few questions asked. Lots of knowlageble people work here and it is easy to go and ask for help.
Cons
Lots of politics. Very hard to get anything done especially in deep water. Everyone wants to raise their oppinions. During rig calls I counted more then 40 ppl in the room for almost an hour. This is probably why the company is not doing so efficient. The staff is not being utialized correctly and mangement is failing to see that. All the manegment is so engrosed in "the way things are done" that they forget what is really important and it is to make money. Lots of debating for hours sometimes with no real goal. Very frustrating if you need to get something doen quick.
