      Good Company, Requires Effort to Succeed

      Mechanical engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are many opportunities, but you need to work hard for them. People can move up the company ladder fairly quickly. This may require both being good at your job, and being a good politician.

      Cons

      Too many acronyms! Sometimes it is hard to follow what the company does due to their broad structure. The support structure for new hires can be improved upon. I have seen new engineers get lost during the first few months with the company. Having a more structured first few months would help increase the productivity.

      I would say it is a good company for young engineers but not for someone of older age

      Pros

      They will let you travel, work with expensive tools. They will train you as well.

      Cons

      This company is heavily dependent on the oil price. If oil price will go down you will get fired. For engineers except petroleum ones there is a high probability that you will loose your engineering skills after working for a while at SLB. For example if you an EE or CS major and you will decide to change your employment the new employer tend to view negatively experience in oil business because they think it is not technological which if often not the case.
