They will chew you up and spit you out. - Project Manager SLB Employee Review

Pros

They have a great 401k program, but you have to opt out of the pension program, if it even still exists.

Cons

Very Machiavellian environment and only for the thick-skinned. Not the kind of stress an employee needs in addition to what they are trying to accomplish. The "gray hair" older contingent don't understand the younger, more competent employees. Very professor/student in the relationships instead of a true team environment. Management will move you around the world. Don't think you can "choose" where you want to go. And they will chew you up and spit you out if you don't leave before they can. Simple as that.
