Pros

Great co-workers-experienced, sincere and committed.

Cons

No clarity on career advancement/progression. You are left to your own devices most of the time and while competence is rewarded the 'Buddy' system for job placements is pervasive

Pros

Excellent learning opportunity in your chosen field, given that they have a "sink or swim" environment and 70 hour work week expectations.

Cons

Although they preach that "Employees are our biggest asset", that is clearly not the case. Management (with the exception of an elite few) uses you like a sponge and has no qualms about throwing you away.

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.
