Pros

Schluberger is a challenging, aggresive company. You learn a lot, you are pushed to the edge, you try to go the extra mile. In terms of learning an experience it is a fantastic place to work as a first job. You can change jobs and location every 2-3 years. A truly multicultural and multinational environment.

Cons

Sometimes it just becomes too much. Too much work, too much pressure, to little time for yourself. The focus is too much on short term profits, at the cost of life / work balance. The company is constantly loosing lots of tallented people who get better deals from oil companies.

Pros

Most employees are professional who tend to have a good work-life balance.

Cons

"who knows you" matters. Diversity cited as a reason for promotions that appear arbitrary. No accountability for decisions that affect the long term as management is too focussed on the short term.

Pros

Schlumberger employees are given a high level of responsibility and autonomy from the beginning. Quality, Health, Safety and Environment (QHSE) management processes are unparalleled in the industry. There is a long standing culture of diversity and excellent opportunities for women. Schlumberger offers excellent benefits and family support. The organization is filled with knowledgeable employees, has ample opportunities for learning, and excellent knowledge sharing tools in use. It is a global organization, offering plenty of opportunity for changing one's profession or location.

Cons

None in my experience. Many people in the company work long hours, but there is a high level of dedication to the job and to the customer.
