Halliburton – “Its a good place to start but after 3 + years its better of looking for a job somewhere else...”

Pros

Laid back work environment with a very casual office dress code attire. Its like its always Friday over here.

Definite no. 1 position in the market. The contracts just keep on coming in even when the oil price is low.

Highly advanced technology applied in their products.

Job stability and security. Impact of the global recession hasn't been as bad as the other service companies.

Cons

The money is next to nothing.

Organization is so big, its more "business first" then "people first"

Has a crazy rule of business travelling can only be in coach. Imagine a 12 hour flight in coach.

Need to cut throat back stab 20+ people just to get a promotion. Even sometimes it really is just up to the boss about who gets promoted without any particular measure of merit.

Not really an equal opportunity employer.

Turnover is high. Young talented engineers just come and go...

Advice to Senior Management

Should really try to be more people oriented instead of business oriented.
