Pros

Great Benefits Great people to work with in Lower Management Positions and field positions. Very Professional

Cons

District Managers and above are constant Liars. Treat employees like second class citizens. Do not keep promises to employees regarding raises and advancements. Safety is preached but is truly second to profits. Dedication means nothing. After over 30 years of true dedication and Service and without any warning or offer to transfer, I was released due to cutbacks. As well due to my requests for an explanation from Corporate as to why I was released instead of relocated, I have been basically Blackballed from the Oilfields. I have not been able to aquire a position anywhere in the Permian Basin.

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.
