Pros

Opportunities are extensive in several areas and interests. Technical career ladder as well as management ladder Coworkers having extensive backgrounds and education Interesting projects to work on People are from different nationalities making us a true global company Schlumberger tends to do the right thing vs. our competition being a little shady

Cons

Size eliminating sometimes the visibility of projects and the importance of these Management being too centralized on objectives and not listening to people on the mfg floors and their needs Size not allowing for quick decisions Too technical on all aspects instead on the required aspects. Sometimes a small decision becomes an odyssey

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
