SLB reviews

1. Does not value contributions by junior employees as much. 2. Decides to terminate employees especially if they are on visas. 3. Very low scope for promotions. 4. Salary is extremely low compared to competitor companies. 5. Uses cunning tactics to avoid sponsoring visas or permanent residencies for foreign nationals.

-Don't count on Schlumberger for a long term career. If oil goes south, they will not hesitate to lay off large swaths of people, starting with people who cost the most. I have been working at Schlumberger for a couple years now and have been through so many layoffs, I've lost count. (but if I had to guess, probably at least 8-9 rounds of them) -Senior management tries to push initiatives that ultimately make yours or someone else's job harder, often with very little benefit ever seen. -The company is huge and there's a lot of bureaucracy. -Schlumberger's initiative to hire women and promote them to higher roles within the company is sometimes sexist towards men. You know there is a problem when women you are friends with within the company feel guilty of promotions they have received over other coworkers.
