      Tough but rewarding field job, difficult to maintain work/life balance

      General wireline field engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Exposure to multicultural environment with high chance to be based in different parts of the world. Rewarding job. Wide opportunities to develop the career inside the company.

      Cons

      Poor work/life balance, especially for field employees. Complicated procedures and policies. Being in a service company you will get pressurized from two sides, the client and the management which most of the time it will be really stressful.

      Schlumberger, work hard, work harder.

      Field engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A lot of potential to earn decent money in busy times. SLB provides young engineers a great opportunity to manage people.

      Cons

      Schlumberger is an ok company but the support and backing for the field personnel is non-existent. This is a CYA first second and last type of place, which limits the effectiveness of the company's true principles.

      Pros

      Challenging engineering jobs in Oil services, that compensate well. Truly Global firm, exposure to multiple cultures and rigorous work environments.

      Cons

      Niche expertise, few exit options, extended field working times, very cyclical market, low tolerance levels, higher management not competent in personnel management.
