Pros

Halliburton technology has good technical work with good people development cutting edge technologies. The pay is competitive and benefits are typical.

Cons

Continual changes prevents stability, non oil-field management does not have a clear path to effective strategy. There is a focus on popular fads from other industries without an understanding of how some of the concepts should work within this organization.

Pros

There are no good reasons to work at Halliburton. The oilfield sucks, but all other service companies pay more.

Cons

It's a good ol' boys club, and women are completely disrespected. I overheard a company rep asking my coworkers if I'd be trained to give oral sex. Not one of my coworkers stood up for me; they just laughed. Also way too many locations with no porta-johns, had to watch guys take dumps on location. OSHA regulations anyone?

Pros

One of the best training program in the industry. One also gets to learn how to be disciplined and to work very hard (up to 80 hours/week)

Cons

-Title does not always reflect your work scope -Management does not care about employees in terms of career growth. You normally get promoted after two years if your manager is adamant to HR rules; though, most managers consider promotions after 1.5 years, and some after 1 year only. This strictly depends on your manager and not on your performance for the most part. -You are usually required to relocate to grow within the company. This could be a problem if you have a family and a wife that works. -The company does not value graduate degrees. -HR are very powerful but do not help employees in terms of career growth. In fact, their impact is negative because they tend to warn managers about your aspirations instead of helping you achieve them.
