Pros

I really enjoyed my time at Schlumberger being a female engineer. I never understood where all the bad stories came from. I got support from managers, took on a lot of responsibilities, got to travel the world and made great friends

Cons

I was "let go" after my leave of absence for study was over. They didn't pay redundancy even after 7 years of service. I felt that was really ruthless and inconsiderate considering I gave the best part of my youth to the company

Pros

Interesting technical work Informal workplace (though contradicted in part by the con below) Great colleagues to work with. Good amount of vacation.

Cons

Salaries are mediocre. Management is implementing more and more policies and procedures to micro-manage employees. Managers don't really manage people, they manage policies. These policies are burdensome, time-wasting, and demotivating.
