Pros
- Good Salaries - Good Benefits
Cons
* Work life Balance: It does not exist, you are forced to work until late nights and join calls super early. India and Colombia folks out there be very careful * Incompetent Management: In Schlumberger, your credentials and certifications do not count, there are basically for you only, organization does not care, if you are good at talking and convincing people with doubtful knowledge this is your company, heck even the CIO is easy to trick, there are multiple managers that are plainly ignorant and incompetent and yet no one says anything, if you report them, HR just ignores you. * Male Discrimination: In SLB IT, being a male is a sin, or some kind of shame you have to carry on, they are so desperate about gender balance that they have forbid male hiring, and if you are a female and there is a promotion, half the job is made, so their gender balance turned onto a male-phobia, * Career Progression: It is very unlikely unless you get a "sponsor" if you are like me, people who work, and show their competency trough work, no politics involved, forget it, you are dangerous, you might expose some manager incompetency turning you into a target, and then managers will use their team to burn you up, by attacking you for every single thing you do * IT-Phobia: Schlumberger oilfield management HATES Information Technologies, yes, caps and all, when they say we are a digital company, they mean the Digital Oilfield Division, but IT is the ugly monster no one wants to deal with.
