Pros

it is easy work for what it is

Cons

if your moving from a different city and are staying in a hotel pack light. they expect you to check out of your hotel that your supposed to get for 30 days when you go out on the field so unless you feel like hauling everything around with you leave it in the city your coming from some employees expect the new hires to know how to do everything their first day

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.
