Fun place to work
Project Manager (Former Employee) – Houston, TX – February 16, 2019
Fun place to work, but very challenging. You are given a lot of autonomy and expected to deliver results. Great place to grow fast in your career as there are several opportunities.
Schlumberger Workplace Review
ECAD Team Lead (Current Employee) – Sugar Land, TX – February 16, 2019
Schlumberger has continuously rewarded my efforts and I hope to see an advanced career path establish for non-exempt employees.
The workplace culture is a bit stagnated when it comes to process improvements in order to streamline development that is more cost effective.

First job after graduating
Drilling Technician /Well Planner (Former Employee) – Houston, TX – February 13, 2019
Survey database management, survey quality control.
Learned how to work with hydraulics and bottom hole assembly designs.
Management was Professional and very knowledgeable.
Always available for help or direction.
Fellow engineers were a playful yet professional bunch.
I needed to learn a whole new profession, new computer programs, basically an entire new science.
Ironically learning this new discipline was the best part, I enjoyed the challenge. Schlumberger was the most organized and efficiently run organization I had the pleasure to work for so far.

Decent employer
Systems Engineer (Former Employee) – Houston, TX – February 13, 2019
Capital and talent rich, but sometimes almost paralyzed by middle and upper management furtively chasing the "next thing" while only paying modest attention to what's keeping the place running day to day. Will be seriously debilitated as the Great Shift Change swings into full gear as the most recent few years of staff reductions seriously thinned the ranks of mid-career people instead of those clinging on the verge of retirement.
Productive and professional

SLICKLINE ENGINEER (Former Employee) – Jay, FL – January 30, 2019
I was a great company to work for until I landed in a district with poor management. During the most recent down turn in oilfield economy our district was closed in November 2015 and all employees were laid off.
Pros
Lots of overtime possibilities
Cons
Poor management at location
Professional and relaxed atmosphere
Project Manager (Former Employee) – Houston, TX – January 24, 2019
As a project manager. I really enjoyed my peers and calm environment.
Everyday was different. My manager encouraged my professional development.
There was a gym on site and employees were able to go the gym any time, during lunch or after work. I typically went around 2pm.
The company also offered pilates and zumba classes after work to releave stress.

A good place that could be great
Directional Driller Specialist Consultant (Current Employee) – Oklahoma City, OK – January 23, 2019
The pay is extremely low compared to others in the industry. They really take advantage of contract workers so they don't have to pay insurance or be loyal to anyone.
Good Work Conditions
Supply Chain Intern (Former Employee) – Rosharon, TX – January 18, 2019
Although the campuses themselves have great perks like a nice cafeteria and gym (some even offer every other Friday off) the pay is not very competitive with industry standards for a full time employee.
textbook example of a company that does value people
Permian Basin HSE Manager (Former Employee) – Midland, TX – January 18, 2019
17 years and many promotions and great evaluations. All lead to an " Its ok if you quit" they didn't value me or any others in my group. It was quite embarrassing that a company you have sacrificed for would just cross your number off of a board. But that's exactly what they did. they have been downsizing for 2 years with this "New Way of Working" which means each employee should do 2-3 peoples job. It gets exhausting and frustrating. I don't suggest anyone getting into this mess of an organization.
Pros
pay
Cons
they want you to perform 3 peoples work
Still one of the best companies out there
Well Services Field Logistic Specialist I (Current Employee) – Midland, TX – January 18, 2019
I loved everything about the company until new management start changing things. but then it is still a very good place to work because benefits are amazing. discounts too. You get merchandise every now and then that is not available to the public (not even to everyone that works with you). Pay and schedule where very good. employee stock option was good too (its the largest service company in the world, larger than the next 3 combined).
Technology in Frac is beyond other companies which makes its services more expensive but safer (everybody is trying to go back home hoe they came to work, right?)
I wish advancement within company was much more flexible, it is possible but departments don't want to loose you which makes it hard to switch departments.
