A bit depending on what you want from life, I would make the controversial statement that WF is probably on the top 3 best Turboprop operators in the world.
The flying IS demanding (short field ops, winter ops, strong winds, high terrain, full procedure non precision app, the worst combination of everything ),
Pay is good (not that high start salary but with time it develops nicely),
Type Rating paid,
Week on / week off roster,
Strong Union
Innovative Scandinavian work culture
seem to be a good work atmosphere etc etc

On the minus list: You start on a remote base north of the arctic circle.
If you want to see the world, this is not your thing, or if you are scared of flying Another thing is that you need to be able to speak Norwegian fluently as part of the selection process is verbal reasoning in Norwegian (and that's even hard if you know Danish or Swedish). So unless you are born in Norway I would rate the chances to get into WF as extremely slim. 5 star company I would say though and one of the few ones left (especially in the TP segment).
