Pros

I worked at Schlumberger about 30 years ago. I really enjoyed my time there. There was great camaraderie between the workers in my department anyway. I felt that I was treated well and was included in my first bonus payout even having been employed there for only a few months.

Cons

The only down side is the cyclical nature of oil and gas. When oil is up things are good, when oil is down, they start reducing staff.
