Experience depends on location and manager

Pros

Its a good solid company with strong processes and benefits. There is great opportunity for growth, but ONLY if you are good at networking and perception management. Global movements and across function movements are possible. Excellent for graduate hires in terms of experience exposure and opportunities given.

Cons

Extremely political - networks matter more than performance and capability, so it doesn't matter what you can do as much as whether you know who is who and play golf with them. No natural progression at all. You could suddenly find yourself out of job if you don't find a suitable next role... Each role is tied up for 4 years for experienced hires Manager is everything so need to be very careful while selecting a role... Mistakes as a company get repeated since people move roles across anywhere and everywhere without really developing any expertise.. although this is also a BIG BIG plus for employees to jump across functions.. Most people in the company are graduate hires so spend their LIFE in the company only.. as a result not much corporate knowledge of world outside the company Work life balance is over played, and even women friendly benefits post maternity etc are largely dependent on

Great company

Pros

Pay, work life balance, benefits. Top level associates. Great common goal and culture. Great vacation plan bonus and stock purchase plan.

Cons

Decision making process is slow and cumbersome. Many opportunities are located in Houston only. Most managers have not been promoted up through the ranks so they have limited knowledge of what it takes to get the job done.

SBSC

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Good for new grads with variety of exposure. Not suitable for experienced hires unless you are in HQ. Work life balance depends on your nature of job.

Cons

Lack of high level jobs in SBSC centers in JG 2/1 and above. Too much politics and red tapes. Year on year people survey is a joke, HR execution lousy. Local country manager not focusing in attracting more jobs locally
