Pros

Great place to make friends and travel. Schlumberger is an international company that makes the investment to move their employees to different parts of the world so you get to mingle with people of many different nationalities.

Cons

It is the oilfield. This means the hours are too many and at all times of the day and night. Average work week is 80 hours and expect many calls at 2am to go on 16 hour jobs.

Pros

big company, so lots of positions to grow into. They offer good training.

Cons

Very frat like mentality and political. If you play those games you will fit in well and move up. Unnecessary complex in doing everything and incapable of simple design/decision process. Typically slow to react to market realities and then cook of grand complex ambitions at peak of markets and first to adjust on the downside.
