Pros

Halliburton is a great place to work. It puts you in charge of your career. Plenty of opportunities in US and international. Lots of training and on job experience. Halliburton support continuing education so its a great way to get graduate, MBA or any other higher degree. Lots of very experienced and talented people to learn from. Great deal of mutual respect between employee and managers. Management style very friendly and laid back. Little to no micro management. Company has a gap of people with 10 + yrs of experience. Good chance to progress if you are in the right place. More than 70% people are 20-30+ yrs experience which is also good and bad. You can gripe just about anything but i would suggest to take advantage of great opportunities at Halliburton and be in-charge of your own career than expect from others to coach and lead you.

Cons

Benefits are taking a downward swirl. No bonus until you reach Principal Tech. This is not usual with other competitors. Promotions are slow. Pay is okay. Very laid back style. No rush for just about anything. Duncan has a unique environment and may be slightly more laidback than other locations. Retaining talent is an issue.

Pros

* Strong brand recognition and opportunity to work on large-scale marketing initiatives. * Exposure to technical subject matter and cross-functional collaboration. * Good place to learn how large enterprise organizations operate.

Cons

I joined in a hybrid role where flexibility was an important factor in accepting the position and making personal life decisions. Within about a year, the organization moved to a full return-to-office model. While companies can change workplace policies, the transition felt abrupt and inconsistent in practice. A recurring challenge was that expectations around in-office presence did not always appear to match day-to-day reality. Remote participation still occurred for meetings and operational needs, which created confusion around when flexibility was acceptable and when it was not. Within my department, I also experienced challenges around communication and collaboration. Feedback on projects sometimes arrived late or only after priorities had shifted, and in some cases work was reassigned or substantially changed without clear involvement from the original contributor. Public criticism of work product without prior coaching made it difficult to improve or feel ownership over deliverables. Leadership communication during organizational changes often felt more focused on compliance than employee concerns. Employees raising questions about work arrangements sometimes perceived limited space for open discussion. Over time, the combination of reduced flexibility, inconsistent application of expectations, and limited recognition of specialized contributions negatively affected morale and trust.
