Pros

I love the responsibility that I have in the field. Schlumberger lets me take responsibility and make my own decisions. Love managing my crew. I would have never had the management duties this early in any other job!

Cons

Ok...so I work a lot which is ok because I love it. I can see how some people could get burnt out. This is a great job for the right person. If you aren't right for the job I can see how you could hate it.

Pros

1. Extremely well chalked out training program which can help to build great competencies. 2. High mobility on the ob so within two years (during training) you get to travel al lot and after acquiring experience many other international opportunities open up

Cons

1. Very restricted growth. You do acquire knowledge and skills but in a very specific area so moving to some other speciality after a while becomes difficult. 2. As it goes with service companies, you do have to take crap from the client.
