Pros

A truly diverse workforce and exposure to varied opportunities. I've worked all over the world, and my perspective about people and myself has changed because of those experiences. In Slb we work work hard and with that there comes a feeling of pride. For me, I am consistently challenged. I excel at something and am then given the opportunity to try something else, possibly that I have never done before.

Cons

I've worked at Slb for 9 years now and the issue for me is related to the downside of a company that offers varied opportunities. Sometimes I get moved to a new job before I feel like I've had an impact in the last role. That can be frustrating. It also has the regular downsides of working for a big company compared to a small company.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
