      Good company with lots of chances to try out different roles

      Finance personnel
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      From a Finance person perspective: This is a big company with super duper company policies. Just follow and it will make your work easier. Treasure it coz a lot of companies do not have such empowerment given to its gate keeper. SLB is willing to spend on staff training. Your CV will be enhanced with work experience from SLB.

      Cons

      Exactly because SLB is that big, systems used within the organization may be fragmented. Talking to A may not help you because he may be from another segment/ biz. A lot of re-organization, expect redundancy.

      Good for your resume, opportunities limited.

      Accountant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They move you positions about every two years, good exposure to different areas within finance and the business. Some travel opportunities depending on which department you work in.

      Cons

      -Below market pay -Management hesitant to give you opportunities that you have proven you are capable of. -They will marginalize and squeeze you as much as they can. Truly a slave driver. -With no show of appreciation or care for their employees -Opportunities and management positions are given to inexperienced employees (still not sure why) when there are many higher qualified employees available. -Everything is a secret and as an employee you do not know where you are headed in your career. Lots of uncertainties regarding career advancement for such a structured organization. -Senior management lacks fundamental knowledge of finance and strategic management. -Financial HUB provides no privacy. No office or cubicles.
