Pros

Tons of job training and opportunity to advance. Tuition reimbursement should you decide to further your education. Great benefits and strong core values on safety and the environment. Opportunity to change departments, or even transfers to other states or countries. Proactive in getting feedback from employees to help improve the company. Most up to date and advanced equipment.

Cons

Being away from your home and your family. Missing out on holidays and events with your family. Being over worked and long hours without sleep or food. The longest stretch for me was eighty-seven hours straight with no sleep and over thirty- six hours without food. Depending on what department you are in, you can get stuck out on a location like stated above.

Pros

Halliburton looks strong on the outside, especially on a resume, and the brand name still carries weight in the industry. Some teams work on interesting projects, and if you get a fair manager, you can learn a lot about large-scale B2B operations.

Cons

If you land under the wrong manager, performance improvement plans (PIPs) can be used as a weapon, not a coaching tool. I was put on a PIP that contained inaccurate claims even after I shared detailed evidence and context. I provided several solid pieces of documentation to HR to rebut the accusations, yet nothing meaningful was investigated or corrected in my case. HR felt more like a shield for management than a neutral party. In my experience, they protected internal politics instead of looking at facts and evidence. There is a culture of quiet compliance. Many people stay 10+ years because the pay and brand are “safe,” but they are hesitant to challenge unfair treatment or speak up about toxic behavior. Corporate hierarchy is heavy, and real decisions seem to depend more on who is backing your manager than on actual performance or documented facts.
