Pros

Global mobility and opportunities to work across geographies and functions. Great leadership responsibilities given to young people once they are battle-ready. Possibilities to straddle duties across the breadth of the industry. Great training programs, workshops, knowledge management programs to keep people involved Very flexible, dynamic work environment, especially for a behemoth.

Cons

Very slow moving bureaucratic machine- takes a long time for decisions to get made. Recognition and positions are slow in coming. Not the best retention strategy from HR. Loose a lot of talent that could have easily retained. Have a flawed foreign worker policy that has led to an exodus of people

Pros

Best in industry training for Engineers. If you do not have a degree in petroleum engineering SLB is a good place to go and learn. If you are able to stay with SLB thru GFE you have lot of potential to alot of different things from recruiting to management to technical.

Cons

The work - personal life balance is tilted strongly towards work. You work alot of hours and get a lot of responsibility early on whether you are ready for it or not. Be prepared to work ALOT!!!
