      Pros

      International workforce with opportunities t work in different countries over the course of your career. You can drive your career and there are tools to that make this possible. Most times a culture of respect, diversity and loyalty to the company and what it stands for

      Cons

      Limited career growth for some professions. Will recommend SLB to recent graduate engineers. They train, expose and challenge you so you get the opportunity to learn a lot know what you're made of and can excel in line with that. For lawyers, its different. Your location and the support of your manager can have a huge impact on mobility and even opportunities that come your way. So different people will have different experiences

      Great Job for a Little Bit

      Pros

      The pay was great, and the rotation wasn't too bad. For a job right out of college, it was pretty good.

      Cons

      There was no support system, and the company was not at all focused on the employee.

      First Class Training

      Pros

      Schlumberger invest millions in training employees to be the best in the oil industry. I benefited from an excellent fixed step technical / leadership training program, which really boosted my career. Lots of travel. I lived in 6 different countries over 3 years! I don't know of many companies that provide an internationally mobile career like Schlumberger

      Cons

      Work life balance is poor if you have a family. Lots of intense work and not enough time to relax. I was constantly on the move (I didn't mind much as I was young, single and eager to learn back then) Schlumberger is renowned for its hire n fire approach during down turns. They do not waste time in cutting off employees during rough times and end up losing some of their best people to the competition as a result.
