Opportunities are extensive in several areas and interests. Technical career ladder as well as management ladder Coworkers having extensive backgrounds and education Interesting projects to work on People are from different nationalities making us a true global company Schlumberger tends to do the right thing vs. our competition being a little shady

Cons

Size eliminating sometimes the visibility of projects and the importance of these Management being too centralized on objectives and not listening to people on the mfg floors and their needs Size not allowing for quick decisions Too technical on all aspects instead on the required aspects. Sometimes a small decision becomes an odyssey
