SLB Employee Reviews about "no work life"

Pros

Clear career progression path for engineers, great pay

Cons

The work/life balance is tough in the D&M product line because we had no fixed rotation

Pros

Management has an open door culture, where every issue/input/discussion are welcomed without prejudice. If you put in effort, managers will acknowledge and give you more opportunities. The flexibility at the workplace is also a plus point.

Cons

The experience and learning you gain grows exponentially, however that means you will need to deal with a lot of stress and long hours. It was hard to find work life balance as every task seem to be important and urgent.

Pros

- veyr technically focussed - good benefits and compensation

Cons

- i ve heard from some full time employees that work life balance may suffer in the future

Pros

Clear career progression and manager are understanding

Cons

As you work with people around the globe meetings time are very extreme and hard to get work life balance.

Pros

- travel opportunities - working with different people from everywhere around the world (I learnt a lot about geography working in SLB) - good employee benefits - learnt to work independently - flexible work hours (as long as you deliver results) - a lot of good training opportunities

Cons

- people become 'robotic' (not much interaction between colleagues in work place) - very dynamic work life (you can be transferred to another location given very short notice) - work schedule can be really tough at times - you need to be a good at multi-tasking - a lot of protocol and system in place which restricts the creativity (not much customization can be done without putting enormous amount of effort to convince the management)

Pros

- Above average salary - Great company health insurance benefit

Cons

- There is no work life balance if you are a shifter (working outside normal hour or day) - No career development - Slow management response

Pros

The pay is decent as a field tech you can make 100k a year

Cons

The work life balance is atrocious and after you gain experience you are better off jumping ship.

Pros

NONE, other than provided a paycheck. No advancement opportunities and management does not accept responsibility

Cons

no inspiration in the lab setting everything was based on work completed and no work life balance. Management plays favorites and does give their people the tools needed to succeed. Promises of cross training and development never materialize and employee incentive programs are non-existent. HR is a joke since they routinely look out for the management and not the employees.

Pros

Learn a tons of stuff especially for interns. Get to work closely with experienced seniors and learn alot and you are lucky, get mentored by these seniors you work with.

Cons

Work life balance may lack sometimes and you have to learn unknown things by yourself sometimes by doing self-studying and research.

Pros

Lots of responsibility and good pay. Opportunities to work all over the world. Rotation schedule allows for travel on days off

Cons

Long hours of hard manual labour. Not the best work life balance and the size of the company can bog down decision making abilities
