Halliburton is a great company, but it is not as good in Azerbaijan as may be in the United States.

Pros

Overseas training opportunities Career growth (even very slow at times) Some opportunities to work overseas

Cons

Management is very cautious about increasing salaries. You have to have some unbelievable performance in order to get some more money. Even if you show very good job performance they do not rush to boost your wages. They try to find some excuses in order to delay your salary increase. Managers get annual cash bonuses if they save more money and the best way to save the money is to cut it from employees' salaries...very efficient way indeed :)

Pros

Looks great on a resume Incredible training opportunities Lots of smart driven people, finding a good mentor is recommended

Cons

Technical salaries are not very market competitive, no pension, 401K matching is good, health benefits are standard - I've had better. No flextime. Everyone works incredibly long hours. I feel that if I'm not on Communicator at least every 8 hours (whether I work or not) it's noticed. CEO sent email reminding employees of work hours and that working from home doesn't count. I take conference calls early mornings and late nights but do it from home. New and replacement programs/applications are implemented by folks high up and the everyday users are not tapped for input. We just have to live with inferior technology. Very political, if you aren't in the clique, you aren't moving up. Managers are often rude and demeaning. Not many opportunites for minorities. It is a very "white" organization. Too many processes in place. Hard to get anything done in a reasonable amount of time. Heavily matrixed organization. Nothing happens overnight unless you have an executives ear...

Pros

Easy to move up the ladder with people constantly changing positions.

Cons

Work load is excessive. They preach work life balance and safety but that's only talk and doesn't apply when money is on the line.
