Good working environment, but beware industry downturns

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Diverse, international coworkers. Interesting technical work - many opportunities to learn. Collaborative work environment. Vacation benefit is very good by US standards.

Cons

Layoffs are brutal during industry downturns. Technical ability is not insurance against layoffs. If you are not internationally mobile, your chances of promotion past first level team leader are remote. Typical big-company bureaucracy.

Business Outlook

Pros

Schlumberger offers reasonable pay and international opportunities. They are almost certainly the most prolific of the oilfield service companies which means that they have a large number of jobs in a variety of fields and locations.

Cons

With so many employees, you are just another number. Management varies from excellent to awful and you have absolutely no recourse for those that are awful. HR are probably the worst part of the company. Either you are ignored or targeted for punishment. With the recent downturn in the Oil & Gas sector, the company is looking to save money wherever possible, this extends to: - cutting training courses - cancelling parties - denying promotions - preventing all travel - laying off employees and firing them where possible.

Good Money. Great treatment when things are going well.

Software Engineering not given enough priority. Schlumberger is not e-verified and there is a lot of problems associated with staying with the company when visa becomes an issue.
