Pros

Worlds largest oilfield service co Opportunity (expectation) to work internationally Systems and processes exist to ensure uniformi in all geomarkets Plenty of capital when oil at $100+ wti

Cons

Middle level managers do not listen. They have adopted manage by objectives reward system slp3, but there is disconnect between goals and value, implementation, resources, and getting things done. Managers are rude, insensitive, and moderate at best. SLB does not value different nor critical thinking. It is focused on NOC opportunities, so in America loss leader. Because their systems are rigorous, they believe a monkey can lead, and pay that way.
