      Pros

      You can travel all over the world, work with different cultures, get paid plenty of money, gain experience very quickly. A good place to get your foot in the door in the oil industry but don't stay too long or the door will close behind you.

      Cons

      You are overworked and overstressed. Internationals are on a 6-day per week contract, and the phone never stops ringing. You have to make your boss happy and the client happy at all times which can be conflicting at times. The industry in some ways looks down on service companies as a second tier job.

      Pros

      There are many reasons to work at Schlumberger because it's really up to the employee. Great pay, travel opportunities, career growth. Your development will be based on how hard you work on projects. Bonuses vary from project to project thus far I know. As for traveling, if you graduated from the states then you will be working within the states or gulf of mexico. You can petition for international assignment usually after three years in the company.

      Cons

      Obliviously, what I wrote sounds great but everything has a price. One of the biggest downfall is lack of free time. And when free time is available you can be randomly called for your services because of a problem at a client's site.

      Intense, rewarding. A career, not a job..

      Pros

      SLB is the undisputed market leader. My starting pay was well above that of other graduates in my year group. Plus other benefits, such as health ins. and good super annuation. Training is intense and field work is highly demanding, but this intensity leads to solid experience. FE's are generally only employed straight from uni, so the recruitement process is highly competitive. Promotion of FE's into management is somewhat of a natural progression. Travel is expected and working in remote locations is inevitable for field staff. Overall, a highly rewarding job.

      Cons

      Requirement to work away from family and friends. The work schedule is unpredictable.
