Pros

The Job Opportunities and Challenges presented are tremendous. They have a good benefits package for their employees too, which is incentive enough to work for the organization.

Cons

In one word .. Middle Management. The mid management team comprises mostly of people who have considerable engineering experience with the company. On the other hand, they lack the basic management and team building skills that are essential for the organization to grow. Schlumberger's training program, although robust, fails to account for training these "engineers" as managers.
