Pros

Variety of life experiences, problem solving and being-in-at-the-deep-end, early responsibility, travel, good starting graduate-job (job is pretty intense so shows lots of good things about you on the CV)

Cons

Poor work/life balance. Toxic, untrusting atmosphere from management. Frequent top down directives. Awful and shameless nepotism. Poor career prospects and transparency within the company.

Pros

If you can get onto the right ladder, frequent moves within business units and/or locations can be had

Cons

Pay sliding relative to the market; it's quite easy to get vastly more outside SLB

Pros

A company that rewards performance. A multi-cultural atmosphere and great people to work with: usually technically talented and passionate about their job.

Cons

More and more paperwork and processes, and less and less confidence into people. The company values are supposed to be people, technology and profit, yet the first two are not the equal of the last anymore.
