      Pros

      Fast opportunities to have high resposibility, crew management, career growth. Nice educational program with well defined steps, which could be followed dependent on the speed you choose and effort you put every day. Quite many different nationalities are presented in the field services.

      Cons

      Stressing job with undefined working schedule. Language barrier will keep you stressed until the last day, once even you perfectly know and fluently speak english, you co-workers and customers (who are changing frequently) may not and usually don't. Just impossible to have a family and work in the field.

Your career is totally in the control of your manager.

      Pros

      Schlumberger values it's technical population. You can stay in a technical role and still advance in salary and grade throughout your career without having to take a management path. We have the opportunity to work with some of the most advanced technology in the world.

      Cons

      Salaries not quite as high as with operators. Travel schedule for senior staff can be challenging. There can be a lack of support for a healthy work-life balance sometimes.
