Halliburton review
Manufacturing Production Manager for the Wireline (Former Employee) – Ft. Worth , Texas – August 12, 2018
My time with Halliburton was from 1978 -2000 so this review is dated. Please consider this old information.
The typical work days were work focused rather than multi meeting driven. I learned the fundamentals of the entire manufacturing process over a 22 year period. I learned management and leadership skills. I learned real team work where the team pulled together to make it happen. Management was still in the good ole boy stage back in my early years but I saw the transformation to a much higher level of management style in the 90's. The work place culture was more of a family than a job. We were close and took care of each other. I think the best part of the job and time was the actual social environment the employees enjoyed together. The manufacturing plant was delivering equipment as planned and we were good at it.

Service Planner III (Former Employee) – Odessa, TX 79763 – August 9, 2018
A typical day at work is fast and your on the go all the time. I learned a lot computer software as well as oil & gas info. Management was not very good in department where I worked at, but if you can find a good manager then the job should be good to go.
Halliburton was an oil/natural gas company focused on profit
Supervisor (Former Employee) – Rock Springs, WY – August 7, 2018
I was a supervisor at Halliburton who managed about a 15 person crew. An average day involved building and repairing natural gas pumping units and clean up. Managements main focus was profit but did focus on safety as they could lose contracts over injury. The culture was very roughneck and the hardest part of the job was the long hours. The most enjoyable for me was the hard work.
Pros
Lots of hard work
Cons
Long hours
Productive and Hard working environment.
Frac Acid Operator (Former Employee) – Zanesville, OH – August 3, 2018
This is a great job for someone without kids. It is also good if you are okay with being away from your famiy for 3 weeks at a time. Also if you can be off a week and find it well enough to be able to make up for the three weeks working.
Positive Experience
Service Specialist I - Completion Tools (Former Employee) – Williston, ND – August 3, 2018
The primary difference between Schlumberger and Halliburton in Williston, ND during the boom was this:
Halliburton was a safer place to "work", while Schlumberger was a safer place to "drive."
Halliburton was a safer place to "work", while Schlumberger was a safer place to "drive."
Halliburton was a that I started assuming the responsibility of the QHSE department from my own. ofcource had some difficult that was eliminated.
HSE Coordinator (Former Employee) – Kwanda Base, Soyo Angola – August 3, 2018
Had a chance to learn, comply and make people understand what was company aim and objectives regard QHSE. Ialso had the first chance to sellect subjects topics of the weekly general meeting and conduct it. I mean started growing up and make fisrt safe steps with Halliburton. That was interesting.
Pros
Was good for most of employees at the time I was there.
Cons
Visually was no people complaining at all.
Management needs to not be chosen from a preschool playground.
Inventory management (Current Employee) – Carrollton, TX – August 2, 2018
Management is lost, with no direction is sight. everything is ran backwards.
Company is now ran by a bunch of wet behind the ears college graduates that have little if any knowledge of the field. Poor financial decisions are being made all around. Lay off 50 employees due to " budget issues/cuts" and turn around the next day and repaint the entire shop floor. Wheres the logic here?

provided a paycheck?
Cons
This box I'm typing is more interested in my opinion than management was.
Big Company
Technical Manager, Global Direct Sales (Former Employee) – Houston, TX – August 2, 2018
Halliburton is a big company with lots of moving parts. Not all are moving in the same direction at the same time but overall the company has been able to grow in a down market.
Good for experience
Lab Technician (Current Employee) – Oklahoma City, OK – August 1, 2018
I enjoyed the company when I first started, but the lack of promotion and career development in the department I work in has really discouraged me. I notice other departments are treated better, and they get the opportunity for advancement more often.
Great place to work.
Truck Driver/Machine Operator (Former Employee) – Bossier City, LA – July 31, 2018
The days where always long with some being hard if you had multiple jobs in one day. I did learn about different aspects of the oil field industry. We tried to keep a fun workplace culture. The hardest part of the job came on the sites when we had to rig up and down for cement jobs but the most enjoyable times came when we received those pay checks.
Pros
Great pay and benefits.
Cons
Demanding work load sometimes.
Still pays well, but it's better days are in the past
Accountant (Current Employee) – Duncan, OK – July 29, 2018
Used to be like family, but corporate in Houston has all but destroyed that dynamic. Watch out for yourself and you'll be fine. Don't believe a lot of the hype started by the corporate propaganda machine.
Pros
Pay
Cons
Travel, accenture
Productive, Competitive & Fun
