      Great on resume, not so great to work for

      General field engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Looks good on resume Travel opportunities if you like locations off the beaten path Pay can be good if you are international staff Opportunity to work with some very smart people (though job rarely requires great mental ability) Training is good

      Cons

      Work life balance is almost non existent Crazy working hours Support staff is expendable International staff vs Home country staff salary/benefits packages totally out of whack Training/expertise gained is in extremely narrow field Lack of professional development outside Schlumberger competency areas. E.g. They hire a lot of electronic engineers but you will probably never attain status in professional bodies.

      Married to the job...

      Tech and field program
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are a lot of opportunities for travel if you like travelling. The bonus package is nice and if you are an American citizen you can actually get a given multiple (i forget what the formal name is) times your base salary.

      Cons

      You are basically married to the job and you stay at the field site for extended periods of time. You should also throw the notion of a 9 to 5 out the window. You can be called in at 2 am to make a 4hr drive.
