Pros

Good training program. Benefits are adequate. The rest of this is filler as I being forced to have a 20 word minimum.

Cons

Too many to state. The biggest is as the CEO stated too top heavy. The restructure shuffled people around but did not address the issue. SLB lacks future vision, they are a knee jerk reaction company. Brags about being a technology company yet what is the first thing that gets cut, technology. The new processes are designed to take someone off the street to replace the field engineers (money makers). Nothing will ever replace experience. Managers are paid too much and the workers are forgotten about. Managers do not generate revenue they manage it.

Pros

Job completion bonuses are nice, if you are eligible to receive them. Average benefits with 6% matching 401K (good luck making it to fully vested status). Experience is always good, if you want to stay in this industry after layoffs.

Cons

Everybody is just a number. Working 80-110 hour work weeks is exhausting. They are 12 hour rotating shifts in the field, not including the 4 hours driving round trip to get to that site. You will more than likely be laid off before you are considered fully vested.
