Pros

Lots of good projects to work on and great colleagues to work with. Compensation is OK and benefits are pretty good. Great place for minorities and women to work since they will be given preference for promotions.

Cons

Management is on the war path to outsource all IT work to India and this is putting all IT jobs in jeopardy including positions working with SAP which had previously been safe. Not a great place for non-minorities and non-women to work at since minorities and women will be given preference for promotions. Job security at Halliburton is non-existent and there are no exceptions. Even top managers and VP's get pushed out at the whim of executive management whenever they get a bug up their arse.

Pros

Middle managers and teams work hard to make the company work as well as they can. Support and communication is pretty good at that level and the people there are competent.

Cons

Sadly, middle management is where the communication and real concern for the employees stops. Most things are done "because we said so" or "because we always have" rather than "because it is the best way". Teams are chronicly understaffed to the point that much gets delayed or not done and no help is in sight. Also, IT is not interested in working with the business to make the company work. IT makes their decisions and everyone else can just deal. This is leading to a major rift between IT and the rest of the business which is going to cause MAJOR problems... as it has in the past.
