Pros

Schlumberger offers it's employees excellent benefits and a rather relaxed enviroment in which to work. The pay is decent although less than a lot of the other gas/oil companies.

Cons

Schlumberger is a very large company and thus there is a lot of beaurocracy which makes a lot of unnecessary work. Lots of hoops to jump through that you would not necessarily have with a smaller company. The pay is not as competitive as other companies out there. Bonuses are only up to 20% and no raises at all this year.
