Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunities for advancement. Excellent benefits. They provide great opportunities for exposure to other cultures through travel as well as in the work environment. Their technology is cutting edge. Mentors are provided in the program for advancement for technical careers. SLB provides lots of guidance and support in terms of career advancement.

Cons

Being assigned to an onsite location leaves one somewhat out of the loop of SLB. Compensation is lower than some of the industries SLB serves.

Good Company, Requires Effort to Succeed

Mechanical engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are many opportunities, but you need to work hard for them. People can move up the company ladder fairly quickly. This may require both being good at your job, and being a good politician.

Cons

Too many acronyms! Sometimes it is hard to follow what the company does due to their broad structure. The support structure for new hires can be improved upon. I have seen new engineers get lost during the first few months with the company. Having a more structured first few months would help increase the productivity.
