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.

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.

Just had to share this, I got a 100% hike!

I'm keeping this anonymous because I don’t want to disclose it in real life. After two years without a raise, I successfully negotiated a 100% increase at my current company. I focused on creating significant value and worked in cross-functional teams to learn as much as possible. There were times when I was overworked, but it was all worthwhile. I was confident that it was a mutually beneficial situation. My advice would be to choose your job wisely, create value in the right place, and don't be afraid to negotiate.
