Pros

Schlumberger is the larger than it three main competitors combined and generally has the best technology, products and services at its disposal. It is also well known for its strong emphasis on safety, comprehensive benefits for its employees and intensive management systems.

Cons

Very weak individuals in mid- and line-management, with a real deficit of leadership and people management skills at these levels. Not all apects of business management should focus on short term revenues and numbers in a database, as is the prevailing management philosophy in most operational matters.
