Pros

1. Good field exposure, if one has the zeal to learn on field and get the right field exposure. 2. Love the tools and products and science behind them.

Cons

1. Lack proper adequate supervision to new entry levels in India. 2. Company or rather few PSL have strong culture of only promoting and encouraging employees of known contacts instead of valuing sincerity and hard work. 3. Face of India Halliburton is entirely different to the global one. Its all a running on compromises. not that much training facilities is provided, pay is decreased here, no rotaNo 4. 4. No rotation as promised, pay and incentives are not according to what shud be. Here, they follow what a single individual had dreamed of in one night and then if has the power to enact he does so. 5. Neo-political culture

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.
