Pros

They give lots of responsibility to employees at an early age, and give you ample chances to prove yourself and move up in the company. It is a very exciting company to work for, you learn a lot, and you get to meet people from all over the world, and travel as well. In addition, Schlumberger is VERY well respected in the oil industry, and success here will open many doors for you.

Cons

You work a LOT. New employees can work up to 300 days per year, and the hours are long. Variable schedules also make it difficult to schedule activities outside of work and to see your family.

Pros

If you are single or divorced man, without any plans for future, this job is for you!!!

Cons

Absolutely no proper planning from line management! Field staff treated like slaves: embarking for 28 days, disembarking and after 2-3 days going offshore again! Very often people in the field do several things at the same time.., no sleep, no money no heath! Shame, for the company like that treat their people like assets!!!
