Pros

Fantastic diversity with employees from every nation around the world. Very selective with very intelligent and capable people. SLB is continuously developing it's people.

Cons

Service side of the industry is not as lucrative, long hours and not as many benefits as operators. The company tends to be quite brutal in a down turn. It let's go people in large quantities only to hire many back as soon as the cycle changes. Can be an emotional roller-coaster.

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.
