Schlumberger is the top service company, will provide Engineers with great training programs during the first 3 years. Gives the opportunity to travel and know places that you never expected and meet and work with people in a very diverse community

Cons

Sometimes you work for more than 24 hours non stop. Most probably you will miss some important family occasions, and you will work under stress conditions
