Halliburton was the best employer I've ever had.

Pros

Despite the way the media treats Halliburton because of its former link to KBR and Dick Cheney, Halliburton is a wonderful place to work. The people are down-to-earth and focused on their work, and the company is permeated by a can-do attitude from Dave Lesar (the CEO) all the way down to the hourly workers. It is a positive place to work and, I believe, a positive force in the energy industry. Additionally, Halliburton is experiencing sustainable growth and will continue to do so because of the people in its employ.

Cons

Because it is so large, there is inevitable red tape. Human Resources is extremely hard to get a hold of. Also, until late 2012, the main campus in Houston is going to be under construction which is a pain.

The company is stable and an industry leader. Despite the reputation outside the industry, Halliburton has a good reputation among our customers - every major oil company in the world.

Cons

Very old school. Slow to change and does not seem aware of just how old school it is.
