Awful work environment

Talent acquisition specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good for raw experience and learning how to handle high-volume stress. Consider it a paid training ground before moving to a healthier company.

Cons

Awful and toxic work environment. Complete lack of professionalism, integrity, and respect for employees. Zero work-life balance—constant pressure to work late hours.

Great starting point in oil and gas, but challenging conditions

Field engineer - production enhancement

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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.
