So there are a few pro's and cons i can verify as i have been working for the company for 3 years now.
Pros:
You have the opportunity to claim back all of your income tax for the tax year, Providing you do the required days offshore (183 total of which 62 needs to be consecutive)
Whilst on board the vessel, you have no extra living costs, food, gym, entertainment, library is all provided and WiFi off course.
Get to see new and interesting things in the offshore world.
Meet new people and form part of a new Family.

Cons
Spends 2/3 of the year away from Family and Friends.
12 Hour Shifts, 7 days a week, 8 weeks in a row.
Sometimes, just sometimes get woken up in the middle of the night for IT Issues (Happens very rarely)

I Have been doing this for a little more than 3 years now and i really enjoy it.
Not Busy for the Full 12 Hour Shifts so will always have some time to your self.
