Pros

Resources. Global presence. Travel opportunities. Great people.

Cons

Duplication of effort. With 120K employees and many different business units you can spend a month working on something that someone else has already written a solution for before you find out the work is not needed.

Pros

Good company and it worth to consider it. I would recommend this company to everybody who wants to have intensive work and learning. The good thing is that your career path and progress depends on you and your performance. More effort you put more outcome you have. Great international employee support and benefits. This company gave me a lot of knowledge that helped me to move to my current position in another Company. Salary is good and competitive. I progressed from grade 7 to 13. Good company to make money especially working international in fields.

Cons

There is good rule with SLB that your long plan goals should match company goals. It means if you need to move in 2 years you better start packing your things. The management behavior us changing from location to location. Work life is intensive and once again it is company unofficial policy to push you to your limit and see if you adjust to it or break. If you adjust then they are pushing more, until you can't take it any more. And then you get some slack. Not the best local health benefits. And remember this is service company and attitude is to provide best service to its Client and some times you need to work really hard for it.
