      Cons

      Middle level managers do not listen. They have adopted manage by objectives reward system slp3, but there is disconnect between goals and value, implementation, resources, and getting things done. Managers are rude, insensitive, and moderate at best. SLB does not value different nor critical thinking. It is focused on NOC opportunities, so in America loss leader. Because their systems are rigorous, they believe a monkey can lead, and pay that way.

      Pros

      The company has a great culture (or so I've heard) of promoting talent internally and providing their talent with opportunities for growth. They still have a more than decent benefits package, when you factor in the economic conditions and general market stability, as compared to other major corporations. The salary is decent and depending on your role, location and group, your work/life balance could go one way or another. They have a great training program and that's one thing that I really appreciate about the company.

      Cons

      Senior Managment, for me, is really terrible. I just landed in a bad situation where my boss is not ideal and my boss's boss, is too busy chasing his own agenda. Sometimes too many job rotations are not a good thing either and it's not necessary that you will always get an offer for a role that you were looking for. Impossible for employees to look for/post to job openings internally.
