Pros

The Data Science groups at Schlumberger Pune are really great made up of all Masters & PHDs from IITs, NITs. They are doing work in terms of "industrial" research & AI/ ML Application Development

Cons

One of the centers is PITC, which also has a great Data Science Team like any other Schlumberger center. But the problem here is the senior management, since last 3 years, they have already fired two Data Science Manager/ Heads. Most of their good members have left & I have heard the new data Science head is even a bigger disaster :D If you are ever planning to join the PITC Data Science team, please check the Manager credential, mostly it will be someone stupid, if so, please avoid it.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
