      Pros

      Most people here are very nice and have a good work ethic. A good group of people to surround yourself with. The work is interesting and challenging enough.

      Cons

      Within seismic imaging you are learning a niche skillset that is tied to a cyclical industry. All tools you will use are in-house tools, nothing transferrable. No one is hired except grads in Crawley seismic imaging. Survivorship bias means the culture is one of people who stick around and hope for a promotion or a pay rise. Don't expect to negotiate anything, at least not for the first few years. Culture within seismic imaging Crawley shows very little resistance to unpaid overtime. Expect to average 37.5hr/wk if you are organised and good at prioritisation but also expect to occasionally go over 40. UK job security outside of the main functions (oil & gas services) is poor. The profit from the core functions is used to scattergun search for a business model outside of oil & gas but the vast majority of these fail.

      Pros

      Mostly caring people, free lunch, and good benefits.

      Cons

      The hierarchy and growth path are not that exciting for engineers.

      Pros

      Viridien is a great company to work for, with a positive and professional working environment. The company has a strong international footprint, a diverse mix of nationalities and backgrounds, and a good balance of technical depth and business ambition. Colleagues are friendly, collaborative, and highly capable, and the leadership team is generally accessible and open to discussion. The work can be challenging and intellectually interesting, especially for people who enjoy technical, global, and client-facing environments.

      Cons

      Career progression could be much clearer and more structured. Promotion paths, development plans, and expectations for advancement are not always easy to understand, which creates uncertainty for employees who want to grow within the company. Salaries are also slightly below market average in some areas, and compensation should remain competitive to retain strong talent. Like many global technical companies, priorities can also shift quickly, so clearer communication and consistency would help.
