      Great international travel, exposure; combined with overworked field and tech center folks

      Pros

      International exposure is bar none; the training is excellent; and the calibre of people you meet is never failed to amaze me.

      Cons

      Brutal hours and the type of work is often random and sporadic. As a junior, it is very dependent on the quality of the manager since he can make or mar your time there. This is more than evident since a high-flyer will take you along and teach you a lot and a sedentary mule is going to make you insane with boredom. Lack of choice on progression of juniors - you have to put your time in at each level and no real performance evaluation benefits; global locations can include undesirable ones

      Great company, but problems with middle management.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The Job Opportunities and Challenges presented are tremendous. They have a good benefits package for their employees too, which is incentive enough to work for the organization.

      Cons

      In one word .. Middle Management. The mid management team comprises mostly of people who have considerable engineering experience with the company. On the other hand, they lack the basic management and team building skills that are essential for the organization to grow. Schlumberger's training program, although robust, fails to account for training these "engineers" as managers.

      Schlumberger promotes a culture of mutual respect and autonomy.

      Program manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Schlumberger employees are given a high level of responsibility and autonomy from the beginning. Quality, Health, Safety and Environment (QHSE) management processes are unparalleled in the industry. There is a long standing culture of diversity and excellent opportunities for women. Schlumberger offers excellent benefits and family support. The organization is filled with knowledgeable employees, has ample opportunities for learning, and excellent knowledge sharing tools in use. It is a global organization, offering plenty of opportunity for changing one's profession or location.

      Cons

      None in my experience. Many people in the company work long hours, but there is a high level of dedication to the job and to the customer.
