      Not a lifetime choice.

      Pros

      You will have to give 120% of what you can do. The company squeezes out your potentials. Provides training and career development plans.

      Cons

      Management changes every couple of years, lacking of professional and domain background. Interperson relationship is straight forward (read differently), lack of culture and respect.

      Lots of responsibility quickly...maybe too quickly

      Pros

      The international mobile package is a good one if you are single and looking to travel. Base salary is not impressive, but once all of the benefits are added up it is very competitive. You get lots of good field exposure quickly and before you know it you are the go to guy on projects. Management of all levels seems approachable.

      Cons

      At least in smaller locations you can find yourself getting a baptism by fire so to say (put in a position of responsibility before you are properly trained or ready). This may be do to poor planning by management or project coordinators. Also, SLB can be slow to hire new people when needed. If everyone is working non stop and jobs are getting done then management will hold off on bringing new people which can really strain current employees.

      Hard work on the field, difficult to have a good work/life balance, good training and development program.

      Pros

      Good training and development program, relatively good package for international mobile employees, reknown in the oil industry for the quality of services provided.

      Cons

      Management not trained properly, obsession for gaining profit, very bad turnover rate, management by objective appraisal rated in a very subjective way.
