      Work hard, party hard

      Pros

      Best thing to do is to work as an international mobile (good salary and benefits). Training is the best there is on the oilfield. Other companys actually head hunt SLB's people with better salaries after the 3 year training. So if you manage to complete your fixed step promotion until grade 11, you can rest assured that your career opportunities will widen. Its also a trully international company.

      Cons

      There's no balance between work and your personal for the first couple of years you start as a field engineer. But as I said, if you manage to complete the first couple of years, you'll be OK.

      Pros

      The exposure to different places, cultures, people. Schlumberger has a truly multicultural environment, with people from all over the world at any location or office. The training is the best in the industry. The advancement opportunities are plenty, especially for those who perform well. There always is a possibility to change during the career and do something new or do the same in a different place, with different people.

      Cons

      Personal life has to be sacrificed at the beginning of the career, but eventually it is possible to find that balance. Compensation is generally very good, except in the USA and Europe.
