      I would say it is a good company for young engineers but not for someone of older age

      Pros

      They will let you travel, work with expensive tools. They will train you as well.

      Cons

      This company is heavily dependent on the oil price. If oil price will go down you will get fired. For engineers except petroleum ones there is a high probability that you will loose your engineering skills after working for a while at SLB. For example if you an EE or CS major and you will decide to change your employment the new employer tend to view negatively experience in oil business because they think it is not technological which if often not the case.

      Everything comes at a price.

      Pros

      You can travel all over the world, work with different cultures, get paid plenty of money, gain experience very quickly. A good place to get your foot in the door in the oil industry but don't stay too long or the door will close behind you.

      Cons

      You are overworked and overstressed. Internationals are on a 6-day per week contract, and the phone never stops ringing. You have to make your boss happy and the client happy at all times which can be conflicting at times. The industry in some ways looks down on service companies as a second tier job.
