Pros

Halliburton has deep roots in its employees. There were numerous employees that I worked with that had worked there over 30 or 40 years. This is because Halliburton takes care of its people, tries to ensure that employees are proud of and satisfied with their work, and pushes employees to achieve new heights.

Cons

Many, if not all, of the people that I interacted with at Halliburton were over worked and stated that they wished they had more time to spend with their families. Most of these people were happy with their career and enjoyed working with Halliburton but wished they were not so overloaded at work that they couldn't get home in time to spend the evening with their families.

Advice to Senior Management

Management needs to make a commitment to get the families of Halliburton employees more involved in the workplace. I saw some evidence of this starting around the time that I left in that they were going to hold a family day on a Friday to get everyone's families involved and excited about what their mothers, fathers, etc. are doing at work every day.

Pros

Excellent career path for those whom are motivated to move upward. Very nice people to work with and want to do an excellent job to succeed. Very proactive in accomodating work life balance. Safety is stressed in everything they do.
