Pros

Good people who are passionate about what they do. Although these people are few and far between, when you run into them it's like a breath of fresh air or a glass of cold water on a hot day. If you are lucky enough to work with them regularly, Halliburton is a great place to work. If not, you count the moments until you have a chance to bump into them and collaborate on a project with them!

Cons

Upper management is very hierarchical and there is a definite "caste" system in place with regards to leadership. Instead of seeing all employees as potential leaders, upper management places them in boxes that they are seemingly never able to climb out of. Another large con was the way in which communication was handled regarding the move of the entire HR division to a new office location. For many, the move was a huge increase in commute, and was going to be a hardship on many employees. Instead of discussing it openly and addressing concerns, upper management simply said "it's Houston, and you should expect to drive an hour or more to work."

Pros

The people you work around are great people that will go well beyond to help you learn your job.

Cons

Claim saftey is the top priority and every work has stop work authority but when you try to put a truck with bald tires out of service you will be fired even though they tell you it's the right thing to do.
