      Back to the old Schlumberger!

      Pros

      Lots of room for advancement created from the constant up and down cycles of the oil industry. Do a good job and you get left alone to run your business. A great place to mentor young employees and see them succeed. Always something new and exciting to work on.

      Cons

      Although there is lots of room for advancement, its a minefield out there that can lead to a shortened career. Too many people only worried about covering their ass and finding a fall guy. Needs work on fixing the real cause and not the poor soul who finds the chink in the armor. Too many people think that to be successful means that you move every 2 years so you can kiss a new cheek and build your network.

      Schlumberger is one of the best places to work in the oilfield, but work dominates life outside of work

      Pros

      Great Diversity and extremely bright people recruited into the organization and in management. International opportunities are endless and many are challenging. Also a great opportunity in this company to work in so many parts of the business - HR, Engineering, Finance, Operations, QHSE, software development, Field, marine, water & co2, and seismic.

      Cons

      frequent travel, work-life balance is an issue that needs more top level management support. boom/bust nature of energy industry is challenging to some employees.
