Not really. I would say Total is ranked either #5 or #6 by industry standards. The top ones are Shell & Exxon. Having said that, Total is still a good brand name.

On the other hand, Statschippac is smaller co. They offer me higher salary and AWS. But I heard once the cycle is down they forced leave. retrench etc etc. The interviewer even mentioned that the work load is 3 times higher than o&g industries. How true is that statement?

Hmm... I am also from the industry and everyone tells me Total is the slackest and bureaucratic culture. My friend works there and he says its very relax & work life balance and stable. The drawback is progression is very slow compared to the other bigger oil companies.

Well. I am the poster that replied you first. Total is one of the top companies in O&G. I am from O&G as well. I Can't advise you exactly but there is no free lunch. You are paid more means your workload could be more. Cant be I pay you more and lesser responsibilities.
I would probably go for Total since its the brand name also and money is not everything especially when you know the workload is higher in Statschippac. Just concerned if you can take the 3 times work load.

If include bonus difference may be bigger. Statschipac still can pay bonus although not high for semicon sector, but Total probably even worse now.

Statschippac pays higher, Total pays lower and slump of oil & gas. What's the dilemma in this case?

Oil & Gas or Semiconducctor?
