      Pros

      Offers average to above average benefits and compensation for similar jobs at other companies.

      Cons

      Same bureaucratic issues as other large companies. HR and benefit policies make you feel like a number--because you are. There are cultural initiatives at the corporate level that would be very useful if they were driven all the way from the top down. Local management has a lot of agency over how things are run so the culture is very different depending on what location you report to. Many of the locations are not healthy working environments.

      Big Company Big Problems

      Product line manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits Friendly coworkers Chances for upward growth Focus on diversity and inclusion

      Cons

      No control over career path, company does not post any open jobs but rather assigns people to new roles when they see fit. Schlumberger treats suppliers poorly (i.e. deciding to suspend payments to achieve quarterly earning objectives), making certain jobs very difficult and sacrificing delivery and customer satisfaction. As managers move frequently (2-3 years is the typical tenure), many decisions made only look at short term (3-6 month) business implications, ignoring long term health of the company. Frequent lay-offs, leaving groups consistently short-staffed and over-worked. Risk-adverse to a fault. Tends only to hire fresh-out technical employees
