Pros

Excellent company with exciting knowledge to be absorb on companies products, services, manufacturing and repairs.

Cons

There's 2 circles of employee both have different types of skills and expertise. Because of it, egos start to brew. Very hard to learn from a senior as halliburton. As an oil and gas company, Halliburton doesn't get excused from retrenchment so everyone keeps guard their trade secret on knowledge to improve process and efficiencies on the work. If you stay long enough you might learn it eventually yourself. Networking is key, "hard-work" and contribution you may come with projects that your teammates don't contribute and possess achievements your co-worker lack will be overlook for promotions with goo relations(networking). If you're too good(the best) on a high stress station with a sensitive product, they'll keep you there with no progression having no one brave enough to take over the station worrying of failure to meet dateline or worst failure on site.

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.
