Pros

Acquired as part of larger company (SLB), some greater job stability

Cons

All of the benefits of working for a small company vanished, with none of the benefits of working for schlumberger to take its place; no opportunity for career advancement, pay stayed pathetically low, work load increased, expected results stayed the same and increased without any real support to grow the employees or the business unit. No real motivation to stay which is why most of the people I know have left.

Pros

Schlumberger puts a huge enphasis on training and career development for each individual and will always promote from within to those who want it. Co workers in the field make coping with the sometime long hours manageable due to the SLB culture. There's support for families and employees which is reassuring and the pay and benefits is great depending on where you work. In comparison to other companies there's a great opportunity here and one could climb to great heights.

Cons

I work in the field as a supervisor over cementing operations. This is an on call schedule so my hours are speratic to say the least. And when it's busy I'm barely home but when it's slow I could be at home for 3 days without any need to go into work. So it makes planning difficult especially in your first year. It's not for everyone the long hours, physical strain, sleep deprivation will effect most people and families. It can get dirty and tedious and really demand a strong work ethic.
