Pros

Great insurance benefit for the immediate family. Ideal working hours of 730-430pm.

Cons

Uses excel for planning and keeping data. No intention of upgrading system. The talk is always next year but nothing changes. No WFH and management don't intend to do so. Very low morale teammates, high turnover especially in production planning. Everyday firefighting. Each part number that you raise request to adjust planning, has to be recorded in excel and for their approval. On average, a planner has to handle about 1000PN. There's no demand planning, it is still supply planning but they termed it as demand so it sounds nicer. The role you applied for may not be the role you get until you get your contract. Reason they usually give because there’s rotation. But the rotation always happens because of attrition. Management does not know what they want. You could be doing different MRP group every month. There is an "internal team"- something like a cult. They will protect themselves and always have "special treatments".

Pros

Great experience, especially if just starting out in oil and gas industry. Lots of industry-leading equipment/tech/etc.

Cons

If you can't handle long hours, harsh conditions (at times), and being away from home for long periods of time, this job isn't for you. My experience at Halliburton was also that many people feel like they're just a number in that management will make frequent (and often sweeping) changes to processes, workflows, engineering schedules, etc. Lots of bureaucratic hoops to jump through in order to advance through the three levels of Field Engineer before you can "break out" and really make good money.
