Pros

Best in industry training for Engineers. If you do not have a degree in petroleum engineering SLB is a good place to go and learn. If you are able to stay with SLB thru GFE you have lot of potential to alot of different things from recruiting to management to technical.

Cons

The work - personal life balance is tilted strongly towards work. You work alot of hours and get a lot of responsibility early on whether you are ready for it or not. Be prepared to work ALOT!!!
