Pros

High technology Truly International - One organization that just does not say it. International means international Great People - May people you will meet at SLB are smart and intelligent - Not all though.

Cons

You are known by your failures. Extremely scant regard for people. The company is extremely cocky (for some good reasons) that they have a talent pool like no one else. You are simply a number to the company. Inspite of the international nature of the company, certain nationalities (mafias as they are known in the company) are extremely strong. You better not cross the mafias the wrong way or your career is finished.

Pros

When I was hired here, I felt as if I was joining a very family oriented company. I suppose it is still that way for some.

Cons

Be prepared to be given more than you can effectively handle if you prove you can do a good job. Since the recent layoffs, positions that have been open for months are not being filled and all of us are hurting. Now we are being told to reduce our available vacation hours. I need to know how you do that and still provide the level of service expected from you?
