Pros

I personally believe that SLB is the best because of the amount of money they spend on training and R&D. Training is intense and not all make it. This is how they weed out the under performers. Maintenance on the equipment is very good giving us in the field better tools. We spend more time with quality checks then other companies , I think, which keeps mistakes to a minimum. This gives us a good image to the client. I wish I would have found this career and company years ago. Currently I have been employed with Schlumberger around 2 years.

Cons

I wish there was more of a schedule to plan personal activities... but I guess thats why they pay so much for what we do.

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.
