Pros

You get a lengthy vacation, meet some nice people.

Cons

Unfortunately in the world we face corporate politics, however never have I seen a company take this to another level. This organization could have be a great opportunity for emerging young professionals however management fails to get it right. The environment here is just short of toxic, no career opportunities to advance. They hold you back to their own accord and do as they please. Each PSC manager has shown a facade how they care about you; however each has only cared about their own progression and their bonuses. Everyone is expendable and just a number at the end of the day. There are managers who care to make changes however everyone is a puppet in the grand scheme of things. HR in this organization does not care about the employees, in essence you have no one to go for help. This has been the most unorganized organization that I have witnessed. I wish things would change however it looks like it never will.

No Work life balance

Pros

Infrastructure. Employee benefits are nice. Possiblity to change domain.

Cons

Work life balance are not at all valued by managers. No proper career progression path available. Very limited scope in IT. Promotions are not performance driven. Hard workers do not get appreciation or any extra benefits. Veteran Managers from oilfield domain are mostly managing the application team. They do not care about the team members as they compare everything with their own onshore experience which is irrelevant in IT. Merits are distributed equally to the team and the good performers are not appreciated. Work from home is not in schlumberger's dictionary. Managers insist for stretching extra hours but unofficially.

Pros

Less work and fat pay package. Food at work. Located in city and near to railway station. Business travel and perks.

Cons

No parking space. HR under management influence. Single person deciding pay, travel plan, promotions, increments for Pune technology center. Local vs out station is criteria involved in appraisal. No value for weekend and out of business hours work in appraisal. Sometimes appraisal would not happen if your boss is fired. Big data guys not allowed to use python and work in analytics projects.
