Pros

Worked in the Landmark PSL of Halliburton. Work/life balance way better than the rest of Halliburton. The only good thing is the unlimited sick days.

Cons

They will escort you out of the building the minute the oil price is going down. They practice a politic of number, they will not ensure to keep their best people. Consultants don't know how to collaborate. There is distrust between the different region, or PSL.

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.
