      Lots of opportunities, but at a price

      Pros

      Especially if you are single and willing to travel, Schlumberger affords many opportunities. You can switch job functions and locations every couple of years. You meet fantastic people and see some really unique places.

      Cons

      The company has little regard for your personal life. Expect long hours with minimal vacation, and constant phone calls throughout, even as a young employee. Also, Schlumberger will put you where they want you to work, it doesn't matter if you have absolutely no interest in that job function or career path.

      Pros

      I think the best thing I face in SLB is pure international and multicultural atmosphere. There are no borders between countries. I know that there are many companies with advance technology but SLB is the first with combination of the technology plus multicultural atmosphere.

      Cons

      you are often pushed to relocation if you ask about changing of position or increasing of salary. Many people prefer work in one place and be able to make own career.
