Pros

Allows employees to gain experience working with a wide variety of enterprise applications. Generally very laid back attendance policy, reasonably good benefits. Employment is reasonably secure in terms of layoffs.

Cons

Middle management tried to hard to make everyone happy instead of rewarding employees based on performance. Lax attendance policy abused by a good proportion of employee base. Layoffs(though I was not affected) were based on a very inconsistent methodology. Some management "cliquey" and unprofessional. Pay was far below market average, when I presented management and HR market surveys, they would not match these figures. Managers abused training budgets for personal vacation time, preventing employees from getting training.

OK - but could be better

Pros

BIg company with worldwide presence. The pay is competetive but could be better to attract better talent. They spent a lot of money to upgrade SAP this past year and are finally moving their data center in to a "real" data center.

Cons

Once run by Dick Cheney - political impact of that is tough to overcome no matter what. Outsourcing (as in all IT shops) is a threat that seems to be growing but there are areas that seem safe from this. Inter-group department comuninication can be improved. Sometimes it appears you have to come from the outside to get promoted to a senior position.

Halliburton Good Place to Make Money Not a Career

Field engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

For people that don't know the difference between an operator (oil company) and a service company ( such as Hal, Schlumberger), Halliburton provides different type of services (i.e. wireline, MWD, ect) to the oil companies. I currently on the field as a wireline field engineer. Most of us guys doing this type of job get compensated fairly well. The more you work the more bonuses you get, simple as that. Compared to Schlumberger, Halliworld offers a lower base salary (upper 50s), but the bonuses make up for it. In my case, I work 6 days on and 6 days off, which is not bad, but when you're on, expect to be call at any time and work for x amount of hours, guaranteed. If you're in it for the money just like I am, then this is a good place to work otherwise get the experience and find another thing in this industry.

Cons

Halliworld will not send you to some place you don't want to go, unlike Schlumberger. I think the base salary can be a little higher than what it is. You work long hours with little sleep.
