Pros

Great pay and benefits. Great locations to work. Good people. Solid, dependable company.

Cons

You are pretty much left on your own to sink or swim. There is no one there to train you, depending on your department. Difficult to convince management to invest in equipment and projects.

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.
