Pros

Safety amd awareness are big things at Schlumberger. A lot of employees work in the field on boats and oil rigs so the level of danger and accidents is increased; however, Schlumberger goes the extra mile to ensure their employees are as safe as possible.

Cons

When it comes to information technology, Schlumberger tends to do things in a round about way. They are overly cautious, almost paranoid, about safety but fail to implement simple safe guards.

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.
