Pros

Lots of great talent at SLB, really smart people Great technology historically, used to be cutting edge Lots of international opportunities

Cons

Management is too engineering focused, doesn't get the big picture Very little emphasis on running an effective business because of a belied that engineers know everything (this is coming from an engineer at the firm) Short tenure in roles leads to misaligned incentives, poor outcomes long-term
