Vantaggi
Exciting job opportunities and a very dynamic career progression where you can never get bored. You start from the ground up where you can get get a good understanding of how the industry works. The way up can be as fast or slow as you want, essentially if you are driven and talented Schlumberger will give you as much as you can handle.
Svantaggi
Very middle management heavy. At the field level, especially with the recent downturn, there is a lot lacking in resources. Very week support structure and a real incapability to try and fix or correct what really matters. There is a lot of beauracy that exists that tends to slow down the day to day operation. Schlumberger tends to sometimes be too internally focused to the point of forgetting what the real goal is, excellent service quality to our clients.
