Pros

Schlumberger is a lifestyle. If that lifestyle suits you, you'll be rewarded very well. Schlumberger allows you to live in many different locations around the world and experience many different cultures which ultimately help you grow significantly as an individual. The technology that Schlumberger posses is very intriguing, and certainly cutting edge for their industry. You have plenty of opportunities to move up in management, and to do so quickly.

Cons

If this Schlumberger lifestyle does not suit you, there is no amount of money that will make it worth while. You do work a lot (some going 4 months without a day off, even weekend), however its a knowledge cramming period. Your sleep patterns will be abused severely at times, and you will fall out of contact with many old friends simply due to your new lifestyle.

Pros

Best company to work for. They give employees ownership over their own future and career direction. So much diversity and strength in an International arena. The ability to travel the world and learn business up close cannot be taught in a classroom or textbook.

Cons

None. Once you join, its like a big family. The corporate culture is a way of life and very addictive.
