Pros & Cons

  • Great manager who is proactive about getting employees on formal training courses. Generally accepted as world-class training and experience, making it a good place to begin a career.
  • The diversity of the people I work with. Everybody originates from different countries, hence their beliefs and practices are shaped differently.
  • A lot of opportunities for personal growth and training.
  • SLB is a multinational company with opportunities for career growth and possibility of working overseas
  • Everyone is enthusiastic, professional, and helpful, so we enjoy working with our teams!
  • Re-schedule work plan happened due to objective reasons, so we have to prepare for the new projection in days, which is little stressful, but we manage to do it.
  • Being away from my family overseas.
  • There is always an expectation to perform so you can't slack.
  • There's no rotation. I would really love a fixed rotation with days on/days off.
  • My ability to feel free with my time is limiting as a result of committing to more intense work experiences and opportunities.

Work Hours
Company quite flexible in office hours. However, when we're on drilling site, the shift hours are dictated by the role and by industry standard (12 hours) and it's not something we can control.

Sustainability

Sustainability
The objectives of reducing emissions are pushed all the time. There are trainings on understanding footprint everywhere. The reports of how each base is doing are online for every employee to see, and there are many initiatives around Australia to reduce Scope 1 and 2 beyond the global targets. The bases in Jandakot reutilize 90% of the water, and Kewdale is fully solar-powered.
