Pros

Had a great time. Met a lot of new people, got the opportunity to travel. I learned new software, how to work in a busy office environment. I enjoyed my internship, the people I met, the process I went through. Great feedback from my mentors. Overall, a great exerience.

Cons

My biggest issue was the lack of communication/organization of my main recruiter and the rest of us interns. I had specific issues with having accounts set up, problems with payment that no one else experienced. It would take days for my main recruiter to return my phone calls or emails, and generally made me feel like there was no time for me.

Pros

1. Excellent benefits and compensation 2. Multinational exposure 3. Opportunities to travel to many many countries 4. If someone is interested in the oilfield sector, Schlumberger is the best place to be.

Cons

1. Less professionalism at workplace as compared to other MNCs. 2. Forget about a balanced life. Your vacations are decided by when you're needed or not, and not by your preferences to take leaves on holidays and special occasions. 3. Prepare to be a lonely traveller. 4. Harsh offshore environment.
