It's a good job, not a great one.

Business Outlook

Pros

Most of the people working there are decent and know what they are talking about. Everybody does their job with little to no supervision. Healthcare package is decent. Hours are normal. Safe working environment (All PPE provided or reimbursed).

Cons

Upper Management has their job because they are good with numbers, not with people. HR is non-existent after the interview. Promotions are difficult to come by, even when using management's promotion system. Not uncommon for somebody new to make more money than those with time in the company. Business conduct is sketchy at times.

Halliburton audits and monitors work hours of professional employees- mandated to work in the office for min. 9 hrs/day.

Pros

Fair benefits, interesting, smart, friendly coworkers.

Cons

A top executive recently went on a campaign/office tour to alert employees that management is monitoring employee hours (by badge time in/out) to ensure all employees are in the office working for 9 hours a day (includes lunch). Employees were firmly informed that those who do not comply will be terminated. Quotes from the meeting: "All employees are easily replaceable." "Halliburton does not have a work at home policy." At one meeting, one employee posed the question "I routinely have to work at home to collaborate with employees on the other side of the globe. What then?" The response was "That's your job." So, any hours worked at home is your contribution to the company. Furthermore, any doctor's appointment needs comes from an employees sick time (vacation time if child is sick.) If you are looking for a place to work that is progressive, trusting, and inspiring.. this is no the company for you.
