Rest assured that Halliburton will write off exactly the amount that best benefits them come tax time, a practice which neither I nor anyone else who itemizes deductions have any right to gripe about.
As to mentoring emerging companies there might be a legitimate argument that by bringing subcontractors in under their umbrella the company is doing just that. The big guys fairly routinely use the small and emerging companies. They don't become persona non grata until on the verge of becoming a legitimate competitor.
