Business Outlook
Pros
Looks good on resume Travel opportunities if you like locations off the beaten path Pay can be good if you are international staff Opportunity to work with some very smart people (though job rarely requires great mental ability) Training is good
Cons
Work life balance is almost non existent Crazy working hours Support staff is expendable International staff vs Home country staff salary/benefits packages totally out of whack Training/expertise gained is in extremely narrow field Lack of professional development outside Schlumberger competency areas. E.g. They hire a lot of electronic engineers but you will probably never attain status in professional bodies.
