Pros

- salary is ok knowing the ciircumstances of the industry at that time - culture depending on the department but in general it is ok. they provide you (online) trainings but most of the time it's learning by doing. - stellar health benefits

Cons

- lots of aspects were kind of ruined due to the pandemic, e.g., trainings are conducted online. opportunities for overseas employee loans only started to occur again after i resigned (2022). - career path is pretty clear but would require your initiative; could be a con if you're the type who gets motivated when prompted (facilitated by a fix-step programme or similar)

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.
