Pros

Best thing to do is to work as an international mobile (good salary and benefits). Training is the best there is on the oilfield. Other companys actually head hunt SLB's people with better salaries after the 3 year training. So if you manage to complete your fixed step promotion until grade 11, you can rest assured that your career opportunities will widen. Its also a trully international company.

Cons

There's no balance between work and your personal for the first couple of years you start as a field engineer. But as I said, if you manage to complete the first couple of years, you'll be OK.
