What’s it like working at Core Laboratories?

AI summary of recent reviews

Core Laboratories is praised for its excellent training opportunities, especially for those starting their careers, as well as its standardised job processes across locations. The company values good work through monthly employee awards and provides work-life balance initiatives like substitute holidays, hourly leave, and recreational activities. Additionally, Core Laboratories has a strong safety culture and is attentive to staff health and well-being.

However, some potential challenges include moderate career progression opportunities, with advancement depending on luck or timing. Conveying new ideas can be difficult due to an abundance of senior managers. While compensation packages are decent, some feel the starting pay and annual increments could be improved. Furthermore, while lab work is generally pressure-free, it can sometimes be challenging, requiring extensive study and critical thinking.

Different strokes for different folks

The good thingsYou will be very good in your job thanks to its system. They encourage you to become a specialist in your job. Good place to learn especially for those who starts from zero i.e. freshies or college graduates. If you're lucky, you'll experience training in their overseas counterpart. Male staff usually get a chance to do onsite job in offshore location (local and overseas). Excellent job standardization between all of their location. Love their substitute holidays and hourly leave.

The challengesDue to abundance of super-senior managers running the departments, sometimes its hard for younger staffs to convey new and fresh ideas. Transparency issue is also a problem, but not regularly. Need to struggle in order to climb the career ladder when there's lots of senior staff ahead of you. You can hope to get promoted after 2-3 years of service. Just deal with the office politics. Monetary benefits; average. Starting pay is so-so, low annual salary increment. Yearly bonus - 1 month.

The good thingsWorking here is absolutely follow working hours, overtime get paid. Lab work is pressure free. Safety is good here. There are some chemical used here but it is very less compare to factory. And company did provide enough ppe. 13 month salary. Can earn a lot by doing overtime.

The challengesLab work can be easy also can be challenging. If you don't want just to be a technician who just follow procedures, you need to study a lot of relevant documents, theory, And always think why? Sometimes, the result is just not as expected. Why?
