Pros

There are immense opportunities to do and be whatever you wish in Schlumberger. By the virtue of its size and expertise, you can find what you like. From High performance computing to Chemistry, from Houston to Siberia and everything in between.

Cons

You have to be careful to manage your time and get a work -life balance. Due to its size there are opportunities but also sluggishness which someone from small company may not like.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
