Geoservices Reviews

Terrible management skills at mostly all levels, starting from the president Okoro. Too much office politics and lack of vision, leadership and courage to challenge the status quo. Almost inexistent recognition of good performance except for a few examples at country level. You are not valued unless you're coming from Schlumberger D and M. Salaries and benefits or quite low from parent company Schlumberger. No work/life balance.

Meager salary for years. Bonuses not paid or denied. Training days no more paid (just basic salary). Tonnes of paperwork. Double- or triple- reporting same things over and over again to different parties at different periods meaning cross-checking between your own reports. Paperwork got worse when the company became a part of the SLB - more reports have to be posted online too. No spares or consumables for months or years in spite of dozens of material requests issued. Broken or missing equipment both at rigsites and technical support bases. Management, especially at the lower and middle levels, have no idea about the job in the field because they left it too many years ago or never learned it properly. They never listen to employees. Too many lies and empty promises combined with threats of 'disciplinary action' create unhappy crews. Finally, unstable crews, crazy or non-existant crew change plans and deficit of field senior staff.
