Pros

- Structured training plan. *Relatively* self paced advancement.

Cons

- The *relatively* self paced advancement is good and bad. I say bad because it is required to attend various schools to get your first raise. For this you are at the mercy of class availability and workload for your department. On the plus side SLB will not limit you to attending only local classes, so if there is a class available in another country, and it is relative to the work you do at your shop, then you can apply to attend that one.

Pros

Global company with multiple locations, great packages for expat roles, Upstream O&G industry. If you can get in the Field Engineering program, you will have a great chance of having a wonderful career in the company.

Cons

Local staff get paid very less compared to Expats, Expats were successful in other career tracks, then get promoted into a career track that they no nothing about, i.e. Wireline Field Engineering into HR & pretend that they know it all when in fact, they know little or nothing & damage other people's careers in the process, difficult to gain career traction for local staff, was downgraded as part of an integration process - left as a result.
