The most thing i like about petrofac is their payments. Its on time with all perks will be credited to your accounts in the first week of every month. If any discrepancy in the salary credit, fast action will be taken by concerned departments.

Now a days working environment is very worst due to indian management. Previously it was fantastic in terms of package and holidays. Currently very worst thing i noticed that posting wrong people to the positions hence professionallism is missing.

They will credit salary without any delay

Dislikes

Compare to direct employees, secondment employees will not get much benefits. Will not get proper response from Admin team and their mobilization is also not upto thier standard, instead of booking from nearest airport they will ask us to travel additional 4 to 8 hrs to reduce flight cost. Compensation for offshore is also very less, they have single standard for site peoples, even if we go to onshore or offshore, their standard remains same.
