I spent a week in Norway on a training course and didn't get paid for it - but made sure I partied hard every night on the company credit card

BP are really good if you end up on the right platfrom. I've been on 3 now and they've all been great, but I'd never work for them onshore.

I'm with Shell now and I can't say I like it much. They never spend money on anything non-production related, I'm constantly doing extra time without overtime - or even a thank you from the powers that be

It's gets you out to see the world though. I've got some amazing party stories out of it all
