Pros

Good money while it lasted if you ignore the lack of pay equality, lack of raises, and lies about promotions and raises.

Cons

Managers will say anything to keep you from escalating a situation. If you go over their heads your job will be subtlety threatened in a way you can never prove. Record EVERY INTERACTION WITH EVERY ONE. Otherwise you'll end up thrown under the bus. I worked in HR, and believe me, there are so many missed opportunities for lawsuits because people don't have proof about hostile work environments, discrimination, safety issues, the list goes on for miles. Cover your butt. When things are good, you're fine. But when they have to cut expenses, they'll look for any excuse to screw you out of a bonus, severance, medical leave, etc.

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.
