Pros

-Decent Pay in industry. -Immense amount of pressure on safety (because profits depend on it) -Opportunity to work on your ideas, and taking ownership of a project -Training is provided -If you can deliver consistency, this company will move you up -See the world if you're open to it -2 years then switch new role -Seen people get a head start by joining this company -Schlumberger Brand: Attract a lot of HR/Head-hunter for companies that will take you under their umbrella if decide management upset you off or unhappy

Cons

-Pay increase based on likability not performance. Bonus or 'PIP' only after you been with company for several years or have certain 'grade' -Long hours, stress, people quitting and you taking on their responsibility. -Retention all time low and gets worse in this organization because people are fed-up not because of Schlumberger (great brand), but their manager or management. -Houston is the worst office to work at based on experience - people just seems to have their fingers stuck up in their nose.
