Pros

No pros for this company at the time

Cons

Management is horrible at the moment in this department.They are intentionally making it harder to employees to get raises,but they receive there bonuses. Our jobs are made extremely harder with all the extra poi forms that we have to fill out . This is useless know is fixing the problems just creating more headache. The gallop survey just made our jobs tougher cause they did not like the answers they received.

Pros

Great people to work with in the field - not your standard desk job. You will be traveling to rig sites, sleeping in your pickup truck, and dealing with all sort of characters. Your crew eventually starts becoming your family. If you're all about being PC and having an 8-5 job, this job is not for you. It's all about the work hard, play hard mentality. Training is also top-notch and you have opportunities to travel overseas. The structure for a field engineer is great since you're constantly striving to the next grade/level. The pay is great as soon as you're bonus eligible, but the work can be draining and you start caring more about having time off than getting paid a bonus.

Cons

Your experience at slb is wholly dependent on your location, segment, and management. They all differ in schedule and bonus compensation. For busy districts, expect to work long hours and holidays and deal with more BS than required. Your satisfaction with the company will rely primarily on how much you like how your management operates.
