If you cannot totally give yourself to SLB do not bother.

systems analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

SLB provides great benefits that match other large companies.

Cons

They expect total dedication to the company while providing very little in return. There are no internal job postings so all job promotions rely on the good old boy network. SLB's culture extremely hostile to its IT division is always seeking cuts to the point that IT provides substandard support and lacks an innovational spirit.

Good place to work meaninglessly most of time but still with OK pay.

Engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Getting my pay check to buy food on the table and support my family.

Cons

1) Job role defined unclearly. Managment calls it as team work. But with no individual contribution recognized, how can anybody progress? 2) Performance review is meaningless. It is almost end of Q3 of 2008, no objective set yet. 3) Matrix organization structure making communication lost sometime. A bunch of people, no one really taking responsibility.

Was a great company to work for... not anymore.

Business Outlook

Pros

International exposure, top technology, cultural exposition. Great opportunities to develop, many different areas to grow to.

Cons

No personal life, transfers way too often that do not allow development of family life, personal considerations not considered, remuneration is better with operators or competitors. It is not worth it anymore to go around the world when same salary can be made at home.
