Great Benefits and Salary

Pros

1. Great Benefits and Salary- The salary, benefits, and Health Care at SLB are amazing!! 2. Company invests in your training and development, they paid for my APICS CPIM certification 3. The center I worked at had very friendly people, and the coworkers I had were amazing and nice 4, I worked hybrid, 3 days from the office and 2 days from home.

Cons

Communication is bad from upper management. They would tell you everything is good and business is performing well, but then a month later there would be layoffs. Also every SLB location is different, some may have more amenities like a cafeteria while others do not. Also there needs to be better training on ERP systems.

Worst company to work

Business Outlook

Pros

There is nothing good about the company. Management is worst,managers are worst they don't behave properly with other people

Cons

Worst company in terms of toxic culture,they say they treat equally,there is vast pay gap between people who have foreign passport and people from other developing countries like India or Pakistan. They should remove the people who give promotion to there family members and they are bias to others.And they show favoritism to some employees. There are people in the company who don't work and are getting huge salaries.its time slb should remove these morons.
