I enjoy the multinational working environment but I am upset about the work-life balance as a field engineer.

Field engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A lot of chances to travel around the world; they do spend a lot of money on training employee; flat structure for engineers, little politics for non-management population

Cons

Recent trend is less days-off and vacation, sometimes engineer has to work two months consecutively without one day off and it is very hard to accept. Oilfield is always a high-risk working place, some engineer has to deal with radioactive sources which is not good for health, especially for women.

Excellent exposure to management, finance, and engineering

Fracturing field engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They hire from within, and the career growth opportunities are very good. You also have a lot of opportunity to travel if you choose the international mobile route

Cons

Do not expect much of a social life for the first several years. Your life will revolve around Schlumberger.
