Pros

Schlumberger offers it's employees excellent benefits and a rather relaxed enviroment in which to work. The pay is decent although less than a lot of the other gas/oil companies.

Cons

Schlumberger is a very large company and thus there is a lot of beaurocracy which makes a lot of unnecessary work. Lots of hoops to jump through that you would not necessarily have with a smaller company. The pay is not as competitive as other companies out there. Bonuses are only up to 20% and no raises at all this year.

Good place to work but too much politics.

Pros

They respect people and create a positive working environement. Work is interesting and you can get a lot of responsibility early on.

Cons

Politics and lack of transparency in HR is very bad. Transfers/promotions is a very convoluted and opaque process. Most people don't get the transfer they want unless they threaten to quit.

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.
