      You can grow very fast but you need to sell your soul to the company

      Senior field engineer (internationa mobile)
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very good training especially if you are not from a petroleum engineering background; No discrimination in nationality, gender, religion, etc. True multicultural company; High tech company; Huge initial salary and benefits for international career. Very attractive for graduates from developing countries.

      Cons

      Very bad work-life balance. Lots of work on weekends, until late without a single penny or recognition. You need to sell your soul to Schlumberger and forget your family. No Christmas, birthdays, Sundays, etc… If you have a manager that does not like you then your life will be a hell and you will have a bad appraisal that will impact the rest of your career. You just follow receipts in the first three years. High turnover. Around 50% of new hired do not reach 3 years in the company. No respect from the senior staff in basic human necessities: vacations, days off, etc. Sometimes a simple thank you is difficult to hear. Lower salaries compared with competition and clients.

      Great Company if you want a different life style than 9 to 5

      Field engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Depending on the region, you can get ideal work schedules (2 weeks on, 2 weeks off). This free time to do whatever you want (travel, etc).

      Cons

      Family life/Social life can take a hit when you are working in the field. Can be moved transfered between regions at the blink of an eye.
