      Comprehensive management systems, too bad the mid- and line-managers are weak

      Field engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Schlumberger is the larger than it three main competitors combined and generally has the best technology, products and services at its disposal. It is also well known for its strong emphasis on safety, comprehensive benefits for its employees and intensive management systems.

      Cons

      Very weak individuals in mid- and line-management, with a real deficit of leadership and people management skills at these levels. Not all apects of business management should focus on short term revenues and numbers in a database, as is the prevailing management philosophy in most operational matters.

      Overall is a good company to work for

      Drilling engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      working for schlumberger makes more aware of technology. has very good tools for directional drilling and logging. after recent merges with major bit company Smith and mud logging company Geoservices Schlumberger become more powerful.

      Cons

      If you are a drilling engineer you will be looking forward to be involved more in drilling operations. Service DEs are more expected to well planning which is not really drilling engineering.

      Good pay, but worked all the time

      Field engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good training, good pay, got to travel a good amount. Was given a lot of responsibility from early on. Adventure in the work environment.

      Cons

      Management didn't have a clue. If you were a good engineer they would work you to death. Didn't listen to any of the emplyees. If you wanted to stay where you were, you got transfered. Wanted to experience a new place, sorry nothing available anywhere in the world.
