Looks for original article this morning where I saw that and couldn't find, but googled a few things and found:

http://www.commondreams.org/views/121800-105.htm

in which it says Gonzales worked as legal consultant to Halliburton and then later accepted campaign contributions from Halliburton. Same for Enron, which I'm still looking at...seems Enron was Gonzales's law firm biggest client.

...and again Enron was one of his biggest donors for his 2000 judicial race. And....from dkospedia:

3. Gonzales is "inextricably tied" to Enron, casting doubt on his ability to impartially handle the biggest corporate fraud in history. As the described in the press even now:
Gonzales also has connections to scandal-ridden energy giant Enron. He is a former partner in the Houston law firm Vinson and Elkins, which represented Enron. He also received $6,500 in campaign contributions from the company when he ran for re-election to the Texas Supreme Court.

So I don't think Gonzales actually was an employee of these companies (although that's the way I read it) but was a consultant to them.
