Pros

Money and thats about it.

Cons

It wastes you. After a few years, you realize you cant go out of slb and find a normal job. Its a bit like joining the army. Very aloof and distant from the normal jobs that our friends take up. Living in remote places, working 24x7 is fun for a while and then the reality dawns on you that the only way you can get a job is by somehow managing a MBA which sucks up all the money out of ur pocket anyways (assuming u do get thru )

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
