      Pros

      Very good company if you're looking for a very safe environment.

      Cons

      They hire an engineer to do the job and then they hire just about anybody they can put their hands on to tell an engineer how to do his job (QHSE responsable). Being a field engineer in Schlum is a demeaning job. Just about everybody else tells you what to do. It's like they hired you for your body and not your brain. They kick your arse when doing bad and forget to pat you on the back when doing good.

      Pros

      Career Opportunities and money, growth prospects and job reputation. In general, only applicants with a major in electrical engineering are hired by Schlumberger. The turnover rate for wireline engineers is very high and demand for them is also very high, so Schlumberger may be hiring people with other types of engineering degrees. Schlumberger is a reputable organisation, which is something that will only assist you in getting further employment (it’s like coming from a Big4 background, it’s very highly sought after, employers just assume you’re a good employee).

      Cons

      No personal life, no time for friends and family
