Pros

I worked with a manager who gave me lot of autonomy and freedom. I was way under paid (compared to peers and market) when I came into the company. My manager had to fight tooth and nail to get my salary up the market average

Cons

Terrible industry to work for. After working here I realized how cut throat this industry is. If you're an engineering and don't mind having zero work/life balance then you will like SLB. They also reward engineers well but don't care much about other functions.

Pros

There are none other than none of my paychecks have bounced.

Cons

They treat you worse than a number, they honestly don't care about you. HR is the worst! Assume everything they tell you is a lie because 9 out 10 times it is. 25% of your year will be spent wasting time in meaningless training, filling out ridiculous HR none sense, and waiting for your boss to give you requirements since you will never ever get to talk directly to a customer. Think you will be surrounded by people who are passionate about technology and software...think again. The people there are clueless, lack any understanding about technology. 99% of the people there do nothing, they sit around and talk all day and nothing gets done. Whatever they tell you about Agile is a total lie, they take years to develop anything, and even then laugh about how their customers all hate and complain about their software. Management is all about checklists and brown nosing. For software engineers this is career suicide! You will sit around do absolutely nothing because management is incompetent and is literally incapable of knowing what good software is, and then when you eventually quit you will have to explain to your next employer why you have nothing to show for all that time.
