Pros

My coworkers were the best part of the ten years. I felt that I was surrounded by a great group of people who really all cared and looked out for one another.

Cons

Some of the management decisions over the years were interesting. Higher level management does not appear to care for the lesser employees.

Pros

Ample amount of time off. Workload can be high, but much less than Schlumberger (where I worked for 7 years in a similar role). Fantastic people, that are not as vilified or mechanized as Halliburton's competition, Schlumberger.

Cons

Where is the technology? Definitely not the leader in the industry with respect to most processes, tools, software... etc. The potential is there, but not realized. I did not feel challenged in the company. So much so, that I had to leave.

Pros

Laid back work environment with a very casual office dress code attire. Its like its always Friday over here. Definite no. 1 position in the market. The contracts just keep on coming in even when the oil price is low. Highly advanced technology applied in their products. Job stability and security. Impact of the global recession hasn't been as bad as the other service companies.

Cons

The money is next to nothing. Organization is so big, its more "business first" then "people first" Has a crazy rule of business travelling can only be in coach. Imagine a 12 hour flight in coach. Need to cut throat back stab 20+ people just to get a promotion. Even sometimes it really is just up to the boss about who gets promoted without any particular measure of merit. Not really an equal opportunity employer. Turnover is high. Young talented engineers just come and go...
