      A good experience that made me realize I did not want a career with the company

      Field engineer intern

      Pros

      I felt proud working for the top oilfield services company in the world. They also compensate you well, and the experience looks really good on your resume. Their training program is excellent.

      Cons

      It's really hard to have a work-life balance. The jobs can last a really long time, and you have to be there when they're ready for you to start, but they often don't know when that'll be ahead of time. This means you might be sleeping in the bed of a pick-up out in the middle of a desert until they decide they're ready for you. Also, even if they tell you you're on a rotating schedule, you might never get the time off that they told you you would.

      Difficult beginning

      Field engineer trainee

      Pros

      Pay, Benefits. The bonuses are awesome but you have to remember that they are paying you to be on call all the time and away from your home. You won't spend much time there.

      Cons

      As a Field Engineer you are constantly away from your family. It is tough. If you are in a relationship and you want to be with this person do not take this job. I've just started three months ago and it was hard since I moved from another state. I still haven't decided on whether to staty or leave.

      Steep learning curve driven earlytime by company late-time managed by individual

      Production engineer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Training: fixed step training for 3 yrs Exposure to latest and greatest technology Responsibility given early and what you do with it determines your progression Fast pase tests knowledge and responsibility (dont make a mistake) Vast array of career maps and options that reduce as you move higher

      Cons

      Easy and very possible to have lack of work/life balance for first 3 yrs. Can seem lost during first 2 yrs until you complete GFE (possible turning point in career) No structured/effective mentoring program Management can get caught up in red tape Career options/maps reduce as you move higher especially if you are technical Too much restructuring and confusing changes
