Pros

You can travel all over the world, work with different cultures, get paid plenty of money, gain experience very quickly. A good place to get your foot in the door in the oil industry but don't stay too long or the door will close behind you.

Cons

You are overworked and overstressed. Internationals are on a 6-day per week contract, and the phone never stops ringing. You have to make your boss happy and the client happy at all times which can be conflicting at times. The industry in some ways looks down on service companies as a second tier job.

Pros

SLB is the undisputed market leader. My starting pay was well above that of other graduates in my year group. Plus other benefits, such as health ins. and good super annuation. Training is intense and field work is highly demanding, but this intensity leads to solid experience. FE's are generally only employed straight from uni, so the recruitement process is highly competitive. Promotion of FE's into management is somewhat of a natural progression. Travel is expected and working in remote locations is inevitable for field staff. Overall, a highly rewarding job.

Cons

Requirement to work away from family and friends. The work schedule is unpredictable.
