SLB reviews

Throw quality family time /life out the window Rarely are you praised or thanked for a superior performace/job often can go offshore with little more than hours of notice

Middle management not always properly trained to lead/ teach. Employees often required to choose between family OR Schlumberger. Field locations expect field personnel to perform their jobs and support roles on a daily basis. Field personnel are often held accountable to improve local processes of operations. Very time consuming to fully invest yourself into the job as desired by management; This often leads to poor family life, skewed priorities; resentment at work and home. Expect to spend many weekends and long days away from your family as a field specialist. The work is often stressful, dangerous, performed in adverse weather conditions. Work schedule is very dynamic (meaning you may be doing one thing today, and tomorrow you could be travelling to a remote job site with as little as 24 hours notice). The lack of consideration for an employees family is very disturbing, and may cause life at home to be strained. Happily married persons BEWARE, this job path can lead to discontent and friction at home!
