Pros

I was hired right out of University and worked for the company for nearly 4 years in the field. Fixed step training program for engineers where you travel to training /learning schools for upwards of 13wks to learn about SLB processes and technology. Also standardize how they do things across the world. Field bonus on top of salary. International travel potential or relocation. Work with very smart people.

Cons

Work life balance not ideal, lots of long hours. Every engineer before me made more, every engineer after me will make less. Not much engineering done, technical pathways require Masters, which the company will put you through but with a 3-5yr commitment afterwards. Bad managers seem to always get promoted.
