Pros
The benefits are great at Halliburton. In addition the work - life balance is great. If you are willing to move, then opportunities exist, but mostly exclusivly at headquarters which is in Houston. It is such a large organization that you're going to find people that you love here, and some that are very talented. Your regional managers change every two years, which means sometimes they are great. You can manage your workload and volunteer to be on special tasksforce. The applause system works in your favor since you fix peoples issues. Opportunity for some training exists, like project management (pmp). To my surprise, safety is very important there.
Cons
The bureaucracy and the lazy people that hide behind it will cause you grief because of how long it takes to change things. The red tape is everywhere from administrative Hr to your own department to other departments. In this particular role exposure to newer technology is limited to non-existent. Since, your regional managers change every two years, sometimes you will be stuck with someone who doesn't know what they're doing. Workload is the same issues, unless you seek out more. HR is inundated with everyone trying to increase their pay, that unless your role is business critical, it won't happen even if you are talented and have backing from regional managers.
