Great Place to Start Career in O&G
Financial Analyst (Current Employee) – Houston, TX – October 21, 2018
Great mobility among the various departments; room for advancement, particularly for those who are internationally mobile. The company doesn’t have an internal job posting site though, so your promotions/assignments are entirely up to your manager.
This was a great place to work.
Electronics Technician (Former Employee) – North Dakota – October 20, 2018
I would fly out and work for two weeks straight and come back home for five days. Working out in the oil fields came with a lot of pressure. When something got broken it needed to be fixed right away because time is money.
Great job
Frac Hand (Current Employee) – Williston, ND – October 19, 2018

Free living free food.
Cons
not many hours off
Productive place to work
Electronics Technician (Current Employee) – Shreveport, LA – October 18, 2018
Schlumberger is a very competitive place to work. This job will teach you a lot. if you can do a good job here you can work anywhere. very long hours and fast past.
Pros
Grest training and benefits
Cons
Layoffs, Intense schedule, high stress
Great Benefits, Not a Glamorous Work Culture
Human Resources Representative/Generalist (Current Employee) – Rock Springs, WY – October 18, 2018
Great if you need good benefits. Locations of work are generally remote, so that has ton be ok with your lifestyle. The work culture is stressful and demanding, but there is flexibility in your day as long as you are available by phone/email and get your work done. Would have to love oil and gas, not the industry for everyone.
Pros
High Pay
Cons
Stressful Work Environment
Great place at first HIGH TECH
LogNet Operator (Former Employee) – Sedalia, CO – October 18, 2018
Great place with great people for the first 15 years. A lot of new and big time tech advancements in the mid 80's a lot of fun.
Then the beans needed to be counted and the oil and gas business is not the most solid.

Best place to start learning about the oil and gas industry
Cement Lab Technician I, Crew leader (Former Employee) – midland,TX – October 17, 2018
I had pretty good experience working for SLB , it's probably the best place to start working at in the oil and gas industry , They have the best trainers and the best technologies, working with SLB was very fun and full of learning
Pros
great experience, Great name to put on your CV
Cons
Work life balance inst good, bad company culture
Good intro to oilfield
Cased Hole Wireline Field Specialist (Former Employee) – Shreveport, LA – October 16, 2018
Everyone in the oilfield knows, if you come from SLB, anyone will hire you. That's because of their incredibly detailed training in all their divisions and their highly functioning management and career advancement in the company. Promotions are clear and defined and attainable, should you desire to put in the work. Sometimes it may feel like they micromanage a bit but that's how they are able to hire nearly anyone despite lack of experience. If looking to break into the oilfield, SLB is where to start.
Pros
all the bennies and the salary, opportunity to travel, great training
Cons
Long hours, intense schedule, high stress environment, sometimes dangerous
Very dense
Materials Coordinator (Former Employee) – Rosharon, TX – October 15, 2018
They had a nice workout facility. Management was horrible for our group. They were all about lean six sigma and the 5S rule. Too strict with working conditions and making employees feel uncomfortable. Company pulls strong to Micro Managin.
Pros
Cafeteria
Cons
short breaks
Wonderful co-workers
Data Extraction Analyst (Former Employee) – Houston, TX – October 15, 2018
It was a wonderful experience. Great group of people especially at the end of the month. Wonderful team work and the when it came to deadlines all employees pulled together as a team to help one another when needed it.
Pros
Great work environment
Cons
none
Work life balance and culture
Remote Operations Team Lead (Former Employee) – Midland, TX – October 14, 2018
Coworkers were great but work live balance was non existent and culture was sub par. I worked in the drilling department and they were constantly understaffed and was pressuring people to go back into the field.
Bad management
Equipment Operator (Current Employee) – Houston, TX – October 12, 2018
Horrible service and without advancement for the future. Poor management growth. The management lacks initiative to accommodate criticism and treat some of their clients with utmost disrespect. They are leaving on the past glory. The per diem is the lowest in the Oil and Gas industry. They need to go back to the drawing board and get their act together.
Pros
Dental
Cons
Low culture
Great place to work and great pay
electronic technician (Former Employee) – Midland, TX – October 11, 2018
I have worked for Schlumberger twice in my life. The first time was with a subsidiary called Pathfinder. It was a comfortable place to work with great pay. Everyone got along with each other and management was awesome, along with great benefits. The second time I worked for Schlumberger, it was a contract position in Midland, TX. Again, the co-workers were great to work with. However, the management was horrible, always low moral meetings, etc. Lay-offs are common for this company when the work gets slow.
Pros
great pay and benifits
Cons
poor management and low morale
Good for Career, horrible for work/life balance
Completion Field Specialist (Current Employee) – St. Johns, NL – October 11, 2018
To get vacation approved is a headache, constant training and bull you need to do. Decent money but other work groups are paid more offshore. More gets taken away with time and never brought back. They try and brainwash you with the SLB way of work.
Travel is typically a plus

Hard work but worth it
Equipment Operator (Former Employee) – Williston, ND – October 10, 2018
The work was hard due to being exposed to the different weather. But the company and everything it has to offer is amazing. I believe the hard work and ruff weather conditions are worth it.
Great Job
Equipment Operator (Current Employee) – West, TX – October 10, 2018
It’s just like any other oil and gas company. The pay is okay can be better. The people are fun and great to work with but at time later the job can become draining and stressful especially if you’re from out of town
Great place to work if you dont mind traveling
Frac Equipment Operator (Current Employee) – Midland, TX – October 8, 2018
I typically work any where from 14-16 hour days, I work in all weather conditions. This job is a great and competive, you get a chance to meet people from all around, the work load can be fast place depending on the job site..
Pros
Healthcare/good benefits
Cons
No job security
