      Pros

      The best parts of Schlumberger are the money, the travel, the training, and the people you meet. Be sure you know what you're getting into before you decide on Schlumberger. And research the segments fully. There can be big differences between them with regards to lifestyle and pay.

      Cons

      It really depends on where you are based. In some locations, the money is good, and there's rotation or field breaks. In others that are deemed to be not remote enough, you can get less than average pay and have no time off at all. But on the whole, the downsides are: Life outside of work (non-existent), Limited availability of experienced employees, Absence of choice in the matter of your life.

      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.
