The employees at the SLB were very helpful, cooperative and respectful. I am very pleased and satisfied with my internship experience and I wish next year I become an official employee at Schlumberger Limited.

The internship course helped me to develop and gain many skills. Being in a real work environment shaped my personality and expectations. I got a chance to assess my interests, explore my choices, and gain confidence.

The tasks I worked on taught to be committed to work and accomplish my duties professionally in a specific timeframe.
