Pros

Great people, good opportunites to learn about the oil industry. Good training programs on oilfield basics. Also there are many locations in the Houston area so it is easy to find a location that is close to where you live. Halliburton has been good at providing employee recognition in the past, but since January, that has slowly fallen off.

Cons

Politics when it comes to career advancement. Requirements that are placed on some do not apply to all when "friends" are helping one another. Also when changes are made, lately, there is little communication or team buy-in. It has slowly started to errode morale.

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.
