Great benefits and steady in a downturn

Business Outlook

Pros

Halliburton has excellent training and benefits. Even though pay is not as competitive as other smaller companies, the hours and overtime have stayed steady in the worst of times.

Cons

Long hours and time away from family can become a strain on you. Constant revolving door of people that get into the job to get rich only to realize you earn every dime you make leaves you constantly training new people

WAS a good company to work for

Business Outlook

Pros

Great projects, good exposure to new technology, most people are great to work with, great benefits even though it may take awhile to get them (specifically senior benefits).

Cons

Employees are promoted to senior level yet have NO skills to manage. Almost every skilled employee left the company so upper management promoted bottom of the barrel folks. Focused on cost cutting so critical enhancements are removed from scope and projects are rushed to meet deadline resulting in poor quality of work. Most IT work is outsourced, yet the company does not recognize or consider culture differences in their work, then blames them for not delivering. Since management pushes for quick delivery, once-great-employees no longer do their best to get the job done, they are no longer willing to help when issues arise, and they start pointing fingers at others.
