Training program is drawn out. Alot of oppurtunies if you put in enough time.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good training, good pay, alot of oppurtunies if you stick around long enough.

Cons

Everything is based on seniority and not performance. Will have to wait on people hired before you to advance before you are given oppurtunity. If some one is lazy and complacent where they are at, you will stall in your progression.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great employees and a flexible schedule, most employees are truly dedicated to doing a good job. In IT they provide a great and flexible work schedule, this helps work around the Houston traffic. Halliburton contributes a lot to the community and tries to often to do what is right.

Cons

In IT upper management has consistently cut costs for the past few years and made employees work more with less resources. Training is hard to get and often turned down. Employees are told to ignore industry trends until the last minute which forced deploying solutions which were not well planned out. In the past few years Halliburton has lost many of its long term employees due to their lack of competitive salaries and very low department headcount.
