      Pros

      It pays the bills. Field crew are good to work with. I tell all the new trainee's, get all the traning you can in your first two years and then leave for a better oilfield service company. Feels great when you leave.

      Cons

      You are just a piece of meat with a number. No balance with home / work life. Poor salary. Incompetent management. Management will walk all over you just so they can move up the ladder. Slb believe all their own hype. Way too much politics Most employee's are brain washed, especially the engineers. Working hours too long. HSE and be a real pain in the arse. Most of it just a meaningless exercise. Slb will take over your life.

      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.
