Pros

Transport provided at different locations, as workplace is at Tuas South. Good insurance dental, medical benefits for family. Centre of excellence, many learning opportunities. State of the art facilities. Overseas exposure. Managers are good, but depends on who too. Subsidised cafeteria food. Work life balance as long as not in management (who attends late night meetings with US team).

Cons

No bonus at technology department, despite tremendous support to manufacturing, who gets yearly profit sharing bonus of average about2.5 months. Annual salary package is not competitive relative to other engineering companies. Annual increment small, some years dont have due to downturn. Work life balance affected if in managment.

Pros

Halliburton looks strong on the outside, especially on a resume, and the brand name still carries weight in the industry. Some teams work on interesting projects, and if you get a fair manager, you can learn a lot about large-scale B2B operations.

Cons

If you land under the wrong manager, performance improvement plans (PIPs) can be used as a weapon, not a coaching tool. I was put on a PIP that contained inaccurate claims even after I shared detailed evidence and context. I provided several solid pieces of documentation to HR to rebut the accusations, yet nothing meaningful was investigated or corrected in my case. HR felt more like a shield for management than a neutral party. In my experience, they protected internal politics instead of looking at facts and evidence. There is a culture of quiet compliance. Many people stay 10+ years because the pay and brand are “safe,” but they are hesitant to challenge unfair treatment or speak up about toxic behavior. Corporate hierarchy is heavy, and real decisions seem to depend more on who is backing your manager than on actual performance or documented facts.
