      As SLB took control of Dowell a steady downhill progression began.

      Pros

      The only good thing about SLB is being an engineer. They are treated as premadonna's and are the ones who will let the company to be ran into the ground.

      Cons

      Engineers with very little exposure to operations in the field are being promoted to positions of authority. It is assummed that because the have an education they are above the ones who have worked for many years to be educated in the entire operation and not just a small portion.

      Pros

      -Decent Pay in industry. -Immense amount of pressure on safety (because profits depend on it) -Opportunity to work on your ideas, and taking ownership of a project -Training is provided -If you can deliver consistency, this company will move you up -See the world if you're open to it -2 years then switch new role -Seen people get a head start by joining this company -Schlumberger Brand: Attract a lot of HR/Head-hunter for companies that will take you under their umbrella if decide management upset you off or unhappy

      Cons

      -Pay increase based on likability not performance. Bonus or 'PIP' only after you been with company for several years or have certain 'grade' -Long hours, stress, people quitting and you taking on their responsibility. -Retention all time low and gets worse in this organization because people are fed-up not because of Schlumberger (great brand), but their manager or management. -Houston is the worst office to work at based on experience - people just seems to have their fingers stuck up in their nose.
