Halliburton
 

Hello, anybody working at Halliburton or has worked at Halliburton?
I am interested to know what is the career prospect, salary, salary increments, bonuses, incentives etc.
What is the work culture?
I have a job offer from Halliburton.

sorry hijack thread to ask about schlumberger as well, maybe some ppl in the same industry can give us some insights.

Whats your position? If you have an offer usually they will let you know the salary and package etc.

You have an offer already and you're asking these questions?

Mechanical engineer. Yes I have an offer already.
I wish to know what is the range of salaries paid at Halliburton and also the salary increment.

You have offer from Schlumberger?

so good. I wish they call me up for the position I've applied for.

hi would like to know about Baker Hughes too

What did you apply for?

I applied procurement. Share your starting salary and the salary package.

3.3k. How about yours?

Lol. U never read what I said. I hope they would offer me. Meaning they haven even call me loh. Any guaranteed bonus?

Anw. 3.3k not bad leh. Need to do shift work?

Sorry!

No guaranteed bonus :(

When did you apply by the way?

Sigh. I see some of my friends getting 3.5k, 3.6k as starting salary. I don't think 3.3k is not bad already. There is no shift work.

U never ask the entire salary package. Maybe your medical benefits or guaranteed bonus better. Otherwise, maybe you hons class? u what hons class?

Medical benefits are standard. I know their entire salary package. I don't even have bonus!

I have Second Upper Class. :(

It is okay for a start I guess. Don't even have bonus meaning confirm won't have or is a variable component? I asked previously because oil gas industry sometimes will state down min bonus component i.e. 3 mths etc.

Yes no bonus at the moment and cannot say for sure about the future

please ask for higher salary if u wish to have any self worth a few years down the road. we have enough people spoiling the engineering sector.

TS, what did you study? I presume engineering?

If that's the case, its hard to believe that there are people getting 3.5 or 3.6k for starting salary for your friends if they are applying within the same industry. Any examples of what your friends' companies are?

Yes engineering of course.

Their companies are of higher tier :o:(
Yes it is possible for fresh graduates to earn such a high starting salary. And I have heard people getting 4k as starting salary as well. This is true.

I just want to find out how are the salary increments at Halliburton like.

Fresh graduates have power to negotiate for higher salary?

What is the salary that you think should be sufficient for "self-worth"?

would like to know more as well!

I think it depends. Some big MNCs they already have a structured salary scheme that commensurate with your hons class i.e 1:3.5k, 2.1:3.3, 2.2:3. These MNCs are not open for negotiation and it is simply a take it or leave it type.

It is not hard at all. The avg starting pay for engineering grads is probably around 3.4k these days. Many blue chip MNCs pay even higher, heard rolls royce pays 3.6-3.8k and there's of course the public sector. Of course starting pay is not everything, you got to be comfortable with the industry and role as well I feel.

Yup, but I think most MNCs do not

I think it happens more for technical positions. Like I know for Micron, HP, Seagate, etc, they pay quite standard for engineers. Dunno about oil gas industry.

Last I heard EM is paying 3.6-3.8k for engineering grads which is so far the highest I have seen for oil and gas industry. For oil and gas services company like haliburton, schlumberger, am not sure how much they are paid. And MNCs usually do not have a distinction for your class of honours, thats usually for public service or govt linked coys. Thats at least the info I have as I have two offers from a govt linked coy and private MNC.

Yes I'm graduating this year from engineering and a local uni with a 2.1 expected and I am pretty certain 3.4k as average is way too high that's why im asking for examples of engineering companies offering that high. Then again that's the technical side instead of procurement so who knows?

just add on, shell MA programme is about 3.4k. so i think average should be around there.

but anyway those are for starting salaries. anyone has info on bonuses for these companies?

If Shell's MA prog is 3.4k then its unlikely other grad programs is higher or the average is 3.4k as TS mentioned.

Bonuses for the say shell, exxon and src (go figure which) are different. Some are fixed without variable, some have both components. Range can be 3-10 months per yr.

EPC companies (services companies) like foster wheeler, haliburton, schlumberger maybe different when it comes to their renumeration package. Would apprecitate if there are more info on these companies as well.

ExxonMobil is paying 3.6k starting salary for normal technical side. Are you sure Shell is paying 3.4k for MA program?

Some MNCs have distinction for the class of honors. That's the information I gather as I have offers from other MNCs as well.

exxomobil working location is at jurong island or harbour front there ah??

Both Jurong Island and Harborfront office.

Can share what engineering pay for fresh grad might be like at HP?

Got an interview, but HP looks like really weakening based on news. Company is still big so I don't think will fold, but wondering if any advise?
Starting salary usually and expected annual increment / bonus?

My friend told me he was offered 3.5k starting salary for 2.2 hons. Shift work. I dunno how true it is but seems to be too generous.

Lol, that's not too generous I feel. Shift work means something like 8am-8pm for day shift followed by 8pm - 8am the next evening for night shift, the following day is an off and this forms a cycle. So basically you just go cycle by cycle, weekends and PH included. Some people won't be able to take this kind of lifestyle especially the night shifts.

Gotta know 3.5k for 2:2 include or exclude shift allowance.

Have got no idea. Nv ask so indept since dun concern me at all.
