Pros

I am a geek and never want to stop learning. If you are like me then Halliburton is a great company. Good benefits, daycare onsite, gym onsite, more opportunities than you ever thought could exist, and continual learning. The company offer's $5,000 a year for an employee to take classes at a university. Halliburton also has their own university. Most employees are always taking classes. This makes the employees stronger and the company. The managers listen and try to put you where you want to be. The people are happy to be there. I witness many people working extra hours but not because they must......it's because they WANT to and are happy with their career. One coworker said it best, "I wake up in the morning and I never think I HAVE to go to work today.....it's I GET to go to work today".

Cons

The employees are ALWAYS busy. Too busy. I don't know how I ever have time to complete everything I do but it gets done. I really hate all the busy work. I don't think it is Halliburton's fault. I believe it is most likely a company size issue.

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.
