What don't you like about working at Schlumberger?

"The schedule is very hard because it is 12 days on and 2 days off. You are lucky if you get your 2 days off. The stress is terrible. A lot of it is because of management, but no one knows the rules but everyone expects you to follow them. The management here is very 2 faced and will do whatever they can to move up. They only care about work. They could care less about safety standards or people's well being. They also have canceled people's vacation because there is work that can be done. The job is stressful, dirty, physically demanding and requires long hours. It is doable with a supportive manager and crew."
