Business Outlook

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.

Great place to start career in oilfield, but not long term if you want to make lots of money.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits package, great 401k plan, lots of training, great place to start career. It is really a Your Mileage May Vary company; also the quality of work life depends on how your management leads your business segment.

Cons

There is too much internal politics. Promotions and choice assignments are given out on a favoritism scale. An unreasonable amount of work hours put in, the managers expect employees to live, breathe, and eat Blue. But not pay for quality work.
