Pros

Good health insurance and decent benefits.

Cons

Management (especially upper management) is out of touch with the field staff. We are the ones on the front lines sacrificing our time with our families to make the company money. They work you non-stop with little pay and no relief. We were already short staff in the field and numerous people quit. Instead of trying to hire more people to at least replace the ones that left, they make us work more for less pay while saving them money. They leave you out on a job for weeks at a time without know when you will be able to go home to see your family. When you do get home, it's for a couple of days and then they expect you to go back to work again for weeks without any relief. All this while management is sitting back at home spending time with their families and sleeping in their own beds collecting their bonuses that the field employees earn for them. They do not care or listen to us when we all tell them that we are unhappy and will leave. We are just a number to them.

Pros

Halliburton looks strong on the outside, especially on a resume, and the brand name still carries weight in the industry. Some teams work on interesting projects, and if you get a fair manager, you can learn a lot about large-scale B2B operations.

Cons

If you land under the wrong manager, performance improvement plans (PIPs) can be used as a weapon, not a coaching tool. I was put on a PIP that contained inaccurate claims even after I shared detailed evidence and context. I provided several solid pieces of documentation to HR to rebut the accusations, yet nothing meaningful was investigated or corrected in my case. HR felt more like a shield for management than a neutral party. In my experience, they protected internal politics instead of looking at facts and evidence. There is a culture of quiet compliance. Many people stay 10+ years because the pay and brand are “safe,” but they are hesitant to challenge unfair treatment or speak up about toxic behavior. Corporate hierarchy is heavy, and real decisions seem to depend more on who is backing your manager than on actual performance or documented facts.
