      Pros

      Opportunities of self development around the world and interactions with teams located on different development centers. Also includes good benefits in addition of salary.

      Cons

      Not clear path need to follow to grow up in the company. Lot of bureaucracy due to big company and also some training programs seem to be not applicable. The oil and gas culture is strong than computer science due to a services company for oil and gas industry.

      An amusement ride of travel, money, excitement, stress, and zero personal life.

      Pros

      Pay is good, especially if you are International, you have no bills. Schlumberger provides everything. The industry sees the training program with Schlumberger as one of the best in the business. Great opportunities to move elsewhere once you gain experience.

      Cons

      You have no life! Expected to work 30 days offshore, 4 days on 'days off' that become days of working in the office. You might get some time off here and there, but you have no schedule and dont' know when these days off will come, so you can't make plans, ever. The one time i made plans and tickets for a vacation, it was cancelled due to 'business need'. Offshore on a rig, 98% of the staff have an equal 4 or 2 weeks on and 4 or 2 weeks off. While the Service hands from SLB, HAL, BHI, etc seem to be working non-stop. It sucks to see someone else making almost as much $$ as you, and work only 6 months out of the year.
