Pros

Great opportunity and benefits. They provided great safety training. They also provided CDL training.

Cons

Oil prices dictate the amount of work for the company and unfortunately there was a reduction in workforce and I was laid off. Long hours subject to the weather make for great overtime, but make it difficult to be home at a regular time to help with family life. Halliburton did take away the paid week off that I was receiving when first hired. They also reduced the per diem from $35 down to $25 per day.

Pros

-Good exposure to world-class technology -Good experience to have on resume -If you are productive and technically sound, there is lots you can do in terms of IP, writing publications etc. -Company enjoys a good reputation in the oil-field, thanks to some good work done by people in the 1900s ... current crop of people leaves a lot to be desired

Cons

-very, very politically oriented. Unless you're part of the "club", you will not get promoted or even get career opportunities...during lean times, people who are not part of the "club" are most likely to get laid off. -Company says that "You own your career" .. in reality, the company owns you .. don't speak up about what you want to do .. I have been told by a Technology Manager that many times you have to do what the management wants you to do. -Everyone who is a Team Lead and up, wants to run the show their own way, and are only concerned about appearing in the good books of those higher than them. -Too much of a top-down culture.. people below the team-lead position are essentially slaves who don't get much say -Very senior management may be good, but the middle management across the board in Technology are horrible ... only there to dance and shine in the eyes of the higher-ups. -Some of the technical folks are really dumb, but that could be true anywhere.

Pros

Nice work environment, standard international package for experienced engineers. Training provided. Collaboration within the same group or product line. Exposure to technologies. Opportunities to move around the world.

Cons

High bureaucracy. Poor human resources. Low tolerance when it comes to employees who decide to leave the company. Payroll keeps the last paycheck for MONTHS. Detaching process from the company is arduous and painful. After working notice period and even staying longer at their request, they have been holding my last paycheck for more than 45 days, it doesn´t seem very compliant, nor even legal under labor law.
