Pros

One and only thing in favour of IOC is its salary (that too in start only), as compared to other industries in India.

Cons

1. Worst work culture. you will have to do jobs that you cant even think of doing in your wildest dream. 2. Height of corruption, nepotism, regionalism, and prejudiced thinking based on the factors you have never heard of. 3. company boast about its very low attrition rate, let me tell you why, because working here for more than 2 years will kill all of your self-confidence, motivation, knowledge (technical for sure) that No one else would like to hire you.
