Pros

Challenging job with good pay. Ability to move up if you are in the right situation.

Cons

Company doesn't seem to care about employees as long as profit margins are good. Too many engineers trying to justify their job while pushing out more experienced employees. Continue to make things more complicated just to get out the door and make a job.

Pros

Good training and an excellent stepping stone company.

Cons

Would not advise anyone of this company especially Engineers to look at this company as a long term employer! This company went from "Pro Engineers" to the graveyard of smart and talented Engineers. they will put you in the nasty dangerous oilfield and expect you to do manual labor in order to succeed, and you have to report to people in some cases with high school diploma who's been in the oilfield for long time and they can't stand engineer who one day could end up being their boss. So many Engineers have lost their life working for Schlumberger while driving since you will be doing a considerable amount of driving to and from drilling rig locations while tiered and they put the responsibility totally on you which having themselves protected by labor laws. they expect you to stay up for more than 24 houres in some cases and punish you if you make a small mistake.
