Pros

I've found that you get what you push hard for. I started out complacent as far as promotion and compensation go and got nowhere. I changed my mindset to a more aggressive nature and positive things have happened. They have been extremely good to my family and have taken care of me very well each time I have had to relocate.

Cons

Sometimes in a big machine such as Halliburton, it seems like the people that already work in the most visible markets, get the lions share of recognition when it's the people grinding away directly at the customer that get bypassed. Such is life. Also, I've found that the level of professionalism in office settings and in management varies GREATLY by locale. The PPR system is a joke, and I feel that is a huge negative because in a way I think it removes peoples sense of accountability in their job performance.

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.
