      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The technology is cutting edge, the people (in the field, but not in management) are amazing and the international culture is extremely stimulating.

      Cons

      The company has no moral culture. Field engineers are worked to death, local operators are exploited and management perpetually deal out criticism without ever considering or confronting the underlying issues. Management is truely useless.

      Selling your soul for $120 K a year

      Field engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      To make a lot of money right out of school. Usually left alone to do your job. Managers try to communicate with personnel as little as possible so you can do pretty much whatever you want as long as you get the job done. Type of people that usually hire on are mostly really friendly and easy to get along with. Since they work you really hard everyone has this need to party hard when they have time off. So slb parties can get pretty crazy. Also, because your life is totally out of sync with the normal world you more than likely will get into a relationship with someone you work with because they are the only ones that can understand. However, slb does very little to do anything for duel career couples.

      Cons

      Not working with very intelligent people. Throwing your personal life away. Constantly having to C.Y.A. Getting dirty. It seems that they actually punish you in this company for having an education. Engineers who have at least a 4 year degree make about 20 to 30% less than "speacialists" who do the exact same job and but usually have a two year degree from an online University in anything. They tell you that engineers have a higher salary than specialists but what they don't tell you is they are not only treated better when it comes to time off because they are more "family orientated" but they also get a higher job bonus which is where the money is really at.
