No Work life balance

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

Infrastructure. Employee benefits are nice. Possiblity to change domain.

Cons

Work life balance are not at all valued by managers. No proper career progression path available. Very limited scope in IT. Promotions are not performance driven. Hard workers do not get appreciation or any extra benefits. Veteran Managers from oilfield domain are mostly managing the application team. They do not care about the team members as they compare everything with their own onshore experience which is irrelevant in IT. Merits are distributed equally to the team and the good performers are not appreciated. Work from home is not in schlumberger's dictionary. Managers insist for stretching extra hours but unofficially.

Pros

Less work and fat pay package. Food at work. Located in city and near to railway station. Business travel and perks.

Cons

No parking space. HR under management influence. Single person deciding pay, travel plan, promotions, increments for Pune technology center. Local vs out station is criteria involved in appraisal. No value for weekend and out of business hours work in appraisal. Sometimes appraisal would not happen if your boss is fired. Big data guys not allowed to use python and work in analytics projects.

Pros

Relocation packages. But at the end their actions are heading opposite way from their promises.

Cons

Inexperienced managers playing corporate life. They act like they were rescuing you giving you the opportunity of your life. Instead people, technology & profit; it should be profit, profit & profit. Expats managers in USA criticizing our country and laws, forcing you to work under third world employment conditions. HR is symbolic department due to they allow this issues turning sight to the other side.
