Halliburton Reviews

Many key functions, including payroll are managed overseas, which creates major communication delays and a lack of understanding of Australian workplace laws and compliance. They’re impossible to reach and consistently get things wrong. It’s extremely difficult to get timely support or resolution. Local HR staff are stretched far beyond their scope, forced to manage payroll issues, endless visa/immigration cases, and other responsibilities that should sit with specialised teams—none of which exist despite the company’s massive size. The culture is outdated and blatantly male-dominated. Women are constantly spoken down to, dismissed, or treated as little more than admin, no matter their role or expertise. The systems and structure are a complete mess. Everything is overly complicated, outdated, and inefficient. Trying to get anything done is an uphill battle, made worse by chronic understaffing. If you work here, you are a number. That is all.

- Unfortunately once you reach certain level in the hierarchy most of the general management roles go to the people that work(ed) in the cementing or fracking divisions. - Lots of politics at the top.
