      Good place to work, but could be better.

      Pros

      There are a lot of good people at Schlumberger, and advancement (for the technical population) is very much in your own hands. The technology is very good, and it's a great place to work if you want to push the envelope and make contributions to the industry.

      Cons

      The company continues to grow in scope, and I think it's becoming a problem. Managing as many people and products as SLB has seems to be problematic, because we are constantly undergoing some new type of restructuring and/or management change. You are 100% expendable and need to be a top performer (or well connected) to keep your job if there's a downturn.

      Not too bad, not too good

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good for expats, with good benefits. Salary above average. You get more vacation the longer you stay in the company. Profit participation. Technical career well-defined (I'm not saying it's fair).

      Cons

      Management hierarchy not clear and changes a lot. Change names of project, product way too often, confusing everybody. Lots of micro-management. Management accessibility not easy, too vertical hierarchy. Super volatile with oil market despite attempts from high executives who says the bottom of the crisis has been reached. Lack of clarity in the way to go: Managers want A, Portfolio wants B, client certainly wants C. Managers and Portfolio often disagree and Software Engineers are divided between decisions not coming from a single source. Lots of managers doing technical decisions even though they were supposed to have come from technical side. Of course, it is not a software company, so don't expect your manager will understand that need the team has to do refactoring, or re-architect things. Company values do not match reality
