Pros

Schlumberger is a great company to work for. The opportunities are endless and if you work hard there is a clear path for promotions. The training is bar none.

Cons

Like any huge company, the HR has a disconnect to the operation of the company. Laying off of people seems unorganized and not always in the best interest of the company.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
