Schlumberger Employer Reviews

Woeking with SLB (Schlumberger) has been very educational and a challenge. The excessive on-call and the lack of clear future have taken a toll on my personal being and I need change. Wonderful company, it is me that needs the change

- No Life Style in Schlumberger
- hard Life
- In Schlumberger Egypt it is not A real Schlumberger , it is look like Local Company

Schlumberger is a very good company to work for.They seem to tryto be employee frendly.
Work on a day basies was just about the same going to customer and installing esp or working on the controllers
management is ok except you cannot get answers from them
CO workers were great tney tried to help where management would not
the most enjoyable part was – more... making the customer happy – less

Hired to perform daily inventory. Fellow employees are open to teach their job areas, thus OJT. Formal training is rare, with the exception of SAFETY. Front line management is somewhat clique-ish. Most enjoyable part of each day is joking with co-workers as we conducted the company's daily business.

There is no typical day working in the oilfield. The schedules are not set. You have to be available to do anything or drive any where at any given moment. You work with a small crew (4-8 people), with whom you work your rotations. Must be able to travel anywhere within the United States. You learn specifically about the equipment used in the field. – more... The training is relatively strenuous but doable. The hardest part of the job is adapting to this type of lifestyle - working 24 hours a day for 3-5 days, out in the oilfield, no shower, no bathroom, no bed; learning to sleep only a few hours a day and still be able to function. – less

You spend approximately a 5:2 ratio of your time at the rig, so you can make a lot of money but you aren't home much.

1) Gained a lot of knowledge regarding the various operations at the rig site.

2) Gained technical experience.

Overall, working at the Financial Hub has been fun. Theres plenty workshops to improve skills and team building activities that help in getting to know our fellow coworkers.

Whether you are in the shop or in the field we will start the day with a safety meeting to make sure you work safely. Then they'll tell you what you will be working on for that day either you service the truck or operate the equipment and go threw pumps. I learned how to do both. The management and co-workers are just like working at any other job. – more... You have people u like and people u don't like. You even have people that try to get u fired but you can't let them get to you. For the most part everyone tries to get alone with one another because its a team job and we all have to work together. The hardest part of the job is rig up & rig down. It's hard in the beginning but it gets easier with time. The most enjoyable part of the job is knowing what time you get off work and that's working in the shop. Cause working in the field you never know what time you getting off but that what comes with the job. – less

I worked with the most "tight knit" group of co-workers in my career. Hardest part of the job was the long hours. I grew so much within my career from working there and made lots of money too!

After 12 years with the company and 3 forced transfers, seeing things going downhill. The people I work with on the floor are the best part of the job. But Management and how things are run is another story. Still love what I do for the company, but most are going nowhere. In the past it was a fun company loved coming to work haven fun throughout the – more... day. Learning from others and teaching those with less knowledge. – less

-selling casing drilling technology to new customers
-creating proposals for customers on future projects.
-evaluating well data for improvments.
-enjoyable part of the job was solving customers problems while the hardest was developing new solutions to existing technology.

I worked 90-100 hours a week in the N. Dakota oilfield as an equipment operator and driver. The work is hard and the weather conditions are very tough.
The work is rewarding and I am paid well, with a good rotation.

It is an oil and gas service company that demands long hours at work. The people I worked with were good people and easy to work with. Because of layoffs last year the work environment was very tense. The industry seems to fluctuate a lot and job security is questionable. Pay is decent for what you do and the company has excellent benefits.

Nothing in SLB stays the same. Everyday represents a new challenge.

SLB is a good company to work for by the management system is not the best...

Every day is different. There is a new hurdle to cross over daily

Working in Schlumberger is very challenging . However it was an extremely challenging environment during the startup of new operation setup in North Iraq where I was handling all procurement activities in a highly demanding operation requirements.
I have learned great deal of entering new markets, sourcing of local vendors and managing them which was – more... the most difficult part .

The most enjoyable part was to receive great rewarding comments/ appreciation from my coworkers on how exceptionally I have handled a request/project .
My co-workers have been extremely supporting and helped me learn a lot during our assignment which I'm really grateful for. – less

worked on various equipment(compressors, trailers, diesel engines, pumps)
learned more about DOT inspections
worked with people from all over the country and learned about their food and cultures...very rewarding experience

hardest was getting supplies in on time due to shipping errors and out of stock items
bosse were great

Good job with gerat technicians. Management does not pre-plan all reactive leadership. Advancement nonexistant. Compensation and benifits are great. Retention is very poor
