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

Great when Oil is on the upswing. In some instance you can make your own way through the company.

Cons

It's the good-ol-boy network in spades. It's not what you know it's who you know. Also, if you get a little on the old side they want to shove you out the door.

Pros

Excellent pay and management is understanding of the need for time off on most occasions. Very little micromanaging in some groups.

Cons

The communication is terrible between groups. There is no "email discipline" at all....you will find a chain a mile long, and the people commenting at the top of the chain and issuing orders have no idea and do not read the start of the chain to understand the issue. At least 50% of my time is spent explaining something to an executive or internal customer because he "heard" a rumor about something....very frustrating.
