Pros

Halliburton is a great place to work. It puts you in charge of your career. Plenty of opportunities in US and international. Lots of training and on job experience. Halliburton support continuing education so its a great way to get graduate, MBA or any other higher degree. Lots of very experienced and talented people to learn from. Great deal of mutual respect between employee and managers. Management style very friendly and laid back. Little to no micro management. Company has a gap of people with 10 + yrs of experience. Good chance to progress if you are in the right place. More than 70% people are 20-30+ yrs experience which is also good and bad. You can gripe just about anything but i would suggest to take advantage of great opportunities at Halliburton and be in-charge of your own career than expect from others to coach and lead you.

Cons

Benefits are taking a downward swirl. No bonus until you reach Principal Tech. This is not usual with other competitors. Promotions are slow. Pay is okay. Very laid back style. No rush for just about anything. Duncan has a unique environment and may be slightly more laidback than other locations. Retaining talent is an issue.

Pros

Great experience, especially if just starting out in oil and gas industry. Lots of industry-leading equipment/tech/etc.

Cons

If you can't handle long hours, harsh conditions (at times), and being away from home for long periods of time, this job isn't for you. My experience at Halliburton was also that many people feel like they're just a number in that management will make frequent (and often sweeping) changes to processes, workflows, engineering schedules, etc. Lots of bureaucratic hoops to jump through in order to advance through the three levels of Field Engineer before you can "break out" and really make good money.
