      Working at SLB

      Wireline field engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you want to travel and experience remote locations as well as different cultures, then this job is for you. The pay is pretty decent for recent grads. They offer a pretty good benefits package.

      Cons

      As I said before the pay is pretty good for a recent grad, but during the training period (3 years) you wont have a life. Work schedules are 24/7 on call. You could work 120 hours or more in one week with no over time pay because you are on salary. You're life basically revolves around the company with no time to enjoy the money you are making. You work schedule is pretty simple for the first 10 months of training, 24/7 on call with no days off, unless you ask your manger for one and he/she feels like you deserve it.

      Interesting technology. A bit narcissistic in the way they see and talk about themselves.

      Pros

      Interesting technology and boundary conditions in the technical problems that one has to address.

      Cons

      They do not support people with vision who want try risky technology projects. A bit narcissistic in the way they see and talk about themselves; this self perception does not allow them to see what they are loosing. The emphasis in engineering of existing tools is producing an unnecessary reduction in innovation in research. The number of NT5 (new technologies 5 years) projects is almost null due to that approach.
