My company (oil and gas) was originally 90 days but has changed it this year to 1-year. Was happy when this changed over.
When issues would arise I would never have a trail to prove I was asked to do something out of the ordinary.
I currently found my way into a data analytics job within a pretty big oil company and it suites me well… but I would still claim my favorite job was manual labor (plumbing on new homes and the like). Something about doing something physical and feeling like I really accomplished something.
I was way out of my element but I really learned a lot from my co workers.
