Pros

- Many career route and path in an organization. - Clear guideline on career growth. - Agile and quick to adjust an organization to remain competitiveness in the market. - Good benefit covering group insurance, and those who're HCM, IM are getting better benefit.

Cons

- Recently downturn impact in overall divisions, functions to downsize their employees. - Performance Evaluation may not reflect on how you performed but how your boss see you. - Having less equipment and people resource than the demand is the direction and culture of SLB. Always make scarcity in the market. - People tend need to be overworking. Comparing with other competitor who usually hiring 2-3 person, while SLB will use 1 person to do the same jobs/ tasks.
