Pros

It was a pro being able to work remote or hybrid but now thats changing..

Cons

They plan on moving to 5 days in office. I advise anyone looking for a job to look elsewhere since everyone else, even our competition, is offering atleast hybrid. HAL has no leeway in this and is forcing all employees to come back into the office 5 days a week, even if you were hired remote/hybrid. They don't care about their employees!

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.
