      Pros

      Training and development are at a self taught pace. Most people are willing to help you get the technical answers you need.

      Cons

      When you get a written offer....it's just that. They can change it on you in a heartbeat. Overtime is not guaranteed so be ready to live off just the base salary.

      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.
