Halliburton Employer Reviews

Good company to work for. Pay is excellent as are benefits. As a drlg fluids engineer i didn't work closely with other Halliburton employees. Worked mostly on my own. The 24 hr on call was somewhat stressfull and long hours.
Best part of the job was not having a direct manager to deal with on a daily basis and the schedule. 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off – more... or 1 week on and 1 week off. – less

Halliburton is simply one of the best companies to work with. Period.

I enjoyed my time at Halliburton greatly. Even with the demanding hours, the people and the work itself made the job very enjoyable.

Good place to work for a single man in my opinion.
Plus side of the business was it introduced you to other fields of operation. But when it comes to oil field work, it requires a lot of your personal time.

Great place to work with professionals.
I received lots of help on many technical concepts.
Very friendly coworkers were always there to help and welcome you whenever you asked for help.
Teamwork environment rather than competition.

A typical day at work starts at 7 am and ends at 4pm. A security meeting takes place before any actvity, and the supervisor or the person in charge is who assigns any duty. The best part of my job is that every single day is different and the fact of being in a group trying to figure out possible solutions to any problem is amaizing. The hardest part – more... of it, on the other hand, it is when the job takes place on location. On location, a typical day starts at 7 am and ends at 7pm, it lasts 12 hours. – less

Look forward to long odd hours and not too much direction. Need to be a self directed worker because you will not get much help from others. 90 + hour weeks no exaggeration, alot of travel.

Whereas compensation and hours are excellent, there are a number of flaws with the way the company goes about business. Not all departments were as backwards as mine was though.

The over work experience was great had its good and bad parts. The worst part of the job was people were rude and inconciderate to the cleaning staff and would leave us with some nasty, and I mean nasty chores to do. The most enjoyable part of the job was most of the people there.

Somedays, there's no telling where the work comes from. Other days, work is stretched to make the day go by. i have a better understanding of oil & gas by working here. Management, in my opinion, are horrible at their job.

It isn't the highest paying service company but there is good job security and chance for advancement.

A typical day consist of training employees on new mfg. tools, approvals of Engineering Task, procedures and specs. I'm learning the financial impact of material, people and time required to build a quality product. Management turn over rate is very high here I'v been here 6 years and have had 7 different supervisors, 4 business unit managers and 4 – more... different vice presidents of mfg.. It would be great to have management that knows the business and not have a chip on there shoulders like you are beneath them. Management gets all of the credit and are promoted when its the people who do the job that should get some credit for the work they do. I have some great coworkers and some not so great coworkers. Most work hard and are willing to do what it takes to move product out of the door with very little recognition from manaement or being promoted. The hardest part of the job is watching the moral of my fellow employees take a downward turn and the3 most enjoyable part of the job is being to work on a lot of different tools gaining valuable experience as well as the relationships that I've developed with my coworkers – less

I enjoy working for Halliburton. My typical day requires me to evaluate a test rack that I built or I am in the process of building, or revolve around troubleshoot any PCB's that might have failed testing and train personnel on the troubleshooting and testing procedures.

I get to talk to my management on a daily basis and they provide good feedback – more... on my quality of work. My coworkers are great and provide a positive atmosphere to work in as well.

I would have to say the most challenging part of my job is trying to learn the new test systems and work with the engineers to get the proper corrections that are needed required tom make the systems work. This is also the most enjoyable part of my job as well. I am constantly learning during this process which allows me to try harder and take greater pride in the work that I am doing. – less

You will make a good bit of money, but you may see your family for 5 days a month.

A typical day at work is not knowing what challenges you may have instore for you but overcoming them. I learn how to work through problems when jobs do not go as plan, but always finding a safe and a good solution for the crew to get the job done. I liked my co worker and they thought highly of me. The hardest part of my job was being away from my – more... family days at at time. The most enjoyable part of my job were the guys i worked around. – less

Halliburton is just too darn rich they know that you are a number and they throw their good employees away like trash. They are also too lazy to conduct an investigation.

Especially in the Odessa area there is no Human Resources or Management there.

DON'T WORK IN MIDLAND ODESSA THEY WILL SUCK YOU IN AND SPIT YOU OUT.

Halliburton offers great benefits and great culture.
All of the Halliburton facilities have great employees and a comfortable environment.

Long hours which was fine with me. The training program was good but was always hard to get the training needed. I had two excellent managers above me who really cared about production but also cared about there employees and their families. I have enjoyed my time with Halliburton and was able to climb the ladder a little but I feel that I had plateaued – more... out with them and would not go any higher even though my skill set would of allowed me too.

Great company but for someone who has a little bit higher goals and wants to learn more and do more, I don't think that it was a good fit. However I have no regrets Halliburton was a great place to start if someone is considering them as an employer I would have to say they will take good care of you.

The most enjoyable part of the job would be working with so many professional people to acheive common goals in a professional environment. – less
