      Be prepared

      Supply chain specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      When I was hired here, I felt as if I was joining a very family oriented company. I suppose it is still that way for some.

      Cons

      Be prepared to be given more than you can effectively handle if you prove you can do a good job. Since the recent layoffs, positions that have been open for months are not being filled and all of us are hurting. Now we are being told to reduce our available vacation hours. I need to know how you do that and still provide the level of service expected from you?

      The Joys of being layed off by Schlumberger!

      Field specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good money. Job was good while it lasted. The CEO was a damn good CEO, just the rest of the management wasn't

      Cons

      Everyone knows the oilfield is hurting and lay offs were to be expected. But When Schlumberger who is supposed to be one of the most family oriented companies in the world, layed me off a few days before my wife was supposed to go in to labor with a high risk pregnancy, they showed me different. Not only did they cut my benefits, only offering me COBRA a high cost insurance, they made me sign a waiver saying I will not consult an attorney. If I didn't sign, they would release my salary, job bonuses, and severance pay. When I asked how I was chosen for the lay off, they told me it was computer generated. Its nice to know management doesn't have to feel guilty about laying people off now. They get an emotionless computer to do it. Then the operations manager told me that when the oilfield picks back up, ill be one of the first ones they call back. As far as I'm concerned, I hope they loose my phone number.

      See the world on someone elses credit card.

      Junior field engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      International Travel Experience, the colleagues and friends you'll make, financial remuneration, the ability to work in an environment which is not only challenging but a giant black box of an industry to outsiders. The ability to control (and understand) such an asset, not only that - but someone elses asset. playing with million dollars worth of equipment.

      Cons

      The lack of knowledge of knowing where your going to be posted next, not seeing the ones you love for long periods of time. Not being able to tell the ones you love the next time you will see them. The length of jobs (offshore can be upto long periods of time) without a break.
