Pros

Great benifits, competitive pay, training if you are liked. If you are top in your class, it does not matter what in, you will sucede, others will suffer.

Cons

Management does not have a clue about there employees capibilities. They do much favoritisim. Management does not care to get to know the employees. The first in the industry to cut jobs and use favortisim in downturns. They will terminate without cause often for silly rules like no steeltoes in a meeting etc. Lots of rules that are sometimes not well spelled out. They want criticism and safety issues brought up but only from the ones they favor, others will be ignored. They will hire over experienced industry personel by incompetent (inexperienced-non degreed)new hires. Philosophy is a young force looks productive. Looks are everything to them. No transfer abilities easily whithin, even though they will claim the opposite.

Pros

Great technology, great training, great reputation. Good benefits package. Diversity of exposure. Good support in the early career stages. Early empowerment.

Cons

Self centred management, always focusing on their superiors. Arrogant (can live with that) but also ignorant - just hoping and praying to move to next promotion. Supporting the party line gets you up. Rebellious, outgoing, doing it right attitudes not tolerated. Get this right, and can be very profitable based on the technology and hard working workforce.

Pros

Schlumberger offers it's employees excellent benefits and a rather relaxed enviroment in which to work. The pay is decent although less than a lot of the other gas/oil companies.

Cons

Schlumberger is a very large company and thus there is a lot of beaurocracy which makes a lot of unnecessary work. Lots of hoops to jump through that you would not necessarily have with a smaller company. The pay is not as competitive as other companies out there. Bonuses are only up to 20% and no raises at all this year.
