Halliburton Employer Reviews

Great get your foot in the door opportinity. Extreme exposure to many contracting companies. Great over all guys to work for. Always learning new tasks and duties

Halliburton has trained me in the field of explosives. I work 12-15 hours day in a bunker type building. I'm on a 11 & 3 schedule which means 11 days on and three days off

Hallilburton is a wonderful company to work for however the oil and gas business is an unstable one and when it plateaus people that are very good at their jobs are let go.

im a opperator assistant 2 and I perform logging and perforating duties such as; loading, building, preparing, and arming guns, rigging up and down, checking pressure controlled equipment, and fixing anything when needed. i enjoy what i do and take great pride in my work.

Great benefits. Compensation depends on how much you work. Base salary not too great but great opportunities for bonuses.

It is a great co. to work for. I have learned alot in the few years i have been here

Learned some different equipment and have a friendly management,
friendly co-workers and after the offshore
the most enjoyable moment is we have a dinner party.

A typicaly day at work involves traveling to a well rig to perform a logging operation of the well. The experience was new to me, as is for many who are unfamiliar with the oil field business. The oilfield is a dynamic environment, with plenty of work and plenty of people willing to work in. The hardest part of the job is being away from family and – more...  friends for extended periods of time, with little or no rest from days on. Layoffs are common when the oilfield booms are gone. The most enjoyable part is probably the pay, since thats why so many are attached to the work. The co-workers are some the hardest working around, and most are friendly. Management is keen on safety and reliability, so a sharp mind is required. – less

A typical day consisted of going out to the lab facility and either helping the technicians or finding part numbers on old test fixtures, I was then responsible for finding the parts in the internal database and copying or calculating all test related data into a spreadsheet.
I learned a lot about how engineers in a big company function day to day, – more...  as well as engineering change orders, requests for technical assitance, multitasking, and project management. Management was mostly friendly, but focused on operating quickly and efficiently, sometimes could be rude or overbearing to others. Co-workers were fun to be around, great atmosphere in the office. The hardest part was being outside for long periods of time, lifting heavy objects and scraping rust off, espicially on days when the wheather wasn't pleasant. I enjoyed the experience as a whole, and was dissaopointed they didn't have a full time position available at the end of my internship. – less

Everyday challenges gives me a great exposure and learning experience to grow my industry and technical knowledge.

you never know what to expect for a day of work
what i learned at halliburton is how to drive a tractor trailer
upper management at halliburton are always changing things
my co-workers are all great guys
the hardest thing about my job is never knowing whats going on for the day and the long boring days

Work early hours once there you will do preventive maintnance. Work with a team enviorment very high detail to the jobs going on. Fast pace saftey is the highest regard and most important job. Learned the function and process for oil and gas retrevial.

Pre-post trip all of our equipment and our pump trucks to ensure the are functional. We conduct safety meetings before, during and after each job. We rig-up the oil field equipment(safely) prime-up and pressure test our line before we go down whole. We communicate all our work to one another as a TEAM because we all depend on one another to do our jobs – more...  and that is done by head-set radios. Once the job is completed, we rig down and take the equipment to the yard for routine maintenance. While working we all have the opportunity to be cross-trained for different jobs.
The hardest part of the job, is waiting for "wireline" to finish. It gets pretty boring.
What I enjoy most is seeing 15 guys taking on a job and making it look like easy. TEAM work at it's best!! – less

Great company to work for, corporation cares about it's employees.

1. Okay so a typical day at work for me consists of waking up to a phone call, having one hour to get to work, getting in my truck doing a proper pre-trip inspection, driving in convoy to a wellsite location, usually wait for the rig to finish casing ( this can take up to days to complete), rig up our iron, pump our cement into the well, rig down our – more...  iron, drive to our yard, go home.

2. I learn everyday
3. management is okay but doesn't know what there doing half the time
4. co-workers are an awesome group of guys for the most part
5. the hardest part of the job is being away from home for days at a time
6. the best part is the money! – less
