Pros

Halliburton has deep roots in its employees. There were numerous employees that I worked with that had worked there over 30 or 40 years. This is because Halliburton takes care of its people, tries to ensure that employees are proud of and satisfied with their work, and pushes employees to achieve new heights.

Cons

Many, if not all, of the people that I interacted with at Halliburton were over worked and stated that they wished they had more time to spend with their families. Most of these people were happy with their career and enjoyed working with Halliburton but wished they were not so overloaded at work that they couldn't get home in time to spend the evening with their families.

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.
