Halliburton Review

Pros

Seemingly attempts to create a good working environment. Has lots of opportunities to do community service or belong to internal groups. Well run financially and compensates their employees well.

Cons

Not diverse and does not try to be diverse. Run by old white men which is problematic if you are not an old, white man. Too much red tape, can't get things done because of it. No clear goals, you are expected to "make your own career" which translates into, "figure out what you are supposed to do, I don't care what that is." There is a lot of talk, and people who are good at talking are able to climb the ladder, but because of this there isn't much action or execution. Not a very "intellectual" company. The only reason it is seen as the "number 2 service company" is because of financials and some key product lines, not because of how the company operates. Management is arrogant and because of this is unable to see the problems.

Pros

Pay was on par for a service company; I've worked at others and while many people at HAL complained about pay, I know that it was exactly in line with competitors. Still not nearly as high as an E&P company, but that is expected.

Cons

The CEO and CFO rule with an iron fist, just like dictators, with no room for dissent. Middle managers are promoted based upon how well they fall in line with the leaders' thinking and goals, which creates a trickle-down effect of demoralizing and alienating the rank and file.

Pros

The only pro is a paycheck.

Cons

Constant layoffs, no stability. Management does not like to take responsibility. No bonus or rewards program. Very negative environment and morale is very low.
