      Training experience thus far

      Field specialist trainee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The pay is good for my position and department at $21.63/hour plus overtime pay. Most people are getting between 72 and 84 hours a week so very good pay all together. The benefits available through Schlumberger are amazing and it is stupid not to utilize the discounted stock purchase program if it’s available to you.

      Cons

      You have to walk on eggshells for various reasons through training. Get used to hearing how you’ll be let go if you screw up when doing XYZ.

      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent pay, good training for safety, nice people, good to work for fresh out, company seems to care only the fresh out

      Cons

      No more technology projects, all about process and procedures, lack of leadership, management cannot decide, 6% matching for 401K, too diversified (have to transfer many due to visas in the middle of the projects) over engineered, no training after 5 years, toomany junior manager who lacks leadership and knowledge, short sighted, new engineers want to be managers after 3 years of work only

      Good job if you can handle the intensity, but the company itself is odious.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good travel for training and occasional projects (even for those on home country contracts), lots of responsibility, good mix of autonomous and team work. Interesting technology to work with.

      Cons

      Terrible respect for work life balance, top heavy management structure and dire job security. Frequent top down work directives to be implemented/huge buereacracy, but massive inertia. Witchhunts in place of actual failure investigations and nepotism exists within this company.
