Pros

Good Bens, pay is average for the industry, local management is visable to the field, nice equipment and facilities, large continued investment in the R&D process, overall good company to work for if you are willing to put in the time.

Cons

Advancement more often then not is based on who you know versus what you know, upper management seems to be disconnected with operation levels, quick to pull the rug out when thing slow down instead of riding the storm a bit before making quick judgements. Employees are view as numbers and reductions are need decisions reflect that fact.

Pros

Schlumberger pays well, it is a good place to work especially if you are new to the oilfield. It helps you harness your communication and technical skills as you deal with the client on many occasions

Cons

You have to relocate when your term in a specific location is over. This can be exciting and also serve as a disadvantage (depending on which location you are asked to go to )
