Current Employee – been working at Smith International
Pros – I love working for Smith. It is a great company to work for.
Cons – You need to be able to adapt to change readily as the environment is constantly changing,
Advice to Senior Management – In the oil field industry there is a lot of the good ole boy mentality, I still see alot of that going on. Promotions are made based on who you know a lot of times when qualified people are waiting on the side lines to be promoted.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
