Pros

Halliburton has great people working in the organiszation. There are always intellegent, bright, enthusiastc people coming up with innovative technologies and solutions with a 'can do' attitude.

Cons

As with a lot of large companies change can be cumbersum and processes labourious. There is not quite the flexibilty there for employees to 'change' things quickly and efficiently. We also are 'stockholder beholden' now first and service to customer second- this was not the case a few years back.

Pros

Great experience, especially if just starting out in oil and gas industry. Lots of industry-leading equipment/tech/etc.

Cons

If you can't handle long hours, harsh conditions (at times), and being away from home for long periods of time, this job isn't for you. My experience at Halliburton was also that many people feel like they're just a number in that management will make frequent (and often sweeping) changes to processes, workflows, engineering schedules, etc. Lots of bureaucratic hoops to jump through in order to advance through the three levels of Field Engineer before you can "break out" and really make good money.
