Pros

Enjoyed my time at SLB. Work there is demanding, but rewarding, especially as a young engineer. For the most part, rewards are based on meritocracy, so if you work hard, things will likely go well for you.

Cons

Work was very demanding, hardly time for self.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

High ownership -- most software engineer roles are project-based, with very small teams.

Cons

Employee experience is dependent on location and team match (geo-wise, software tech centers are in Beijing, Paris, and Houston). May not end up in a team with expected software practices or mentorship.
