Pros

I have only good things to say about interning with Halliburton for a summer. First of all, the internship was extremely structured. My role throughout the summer was clear and very well seemed to replicate the structure of a full-time position making the experience very beneficial. Additionally, my internship was extremely meaningful. I learned so much during my internship about the company, about the industry, and what it's like being a real world engineer. Lastly, the connections I made along the way were invaluable. Everyone was extremely friendly, willing to help, and some of the most intelligent people I've met. In summary, I only have positive things to say about the internship.

Cons

The only downside that I can think of for my internship would be that at my specific location. The full-time employees work around a schedule that is in the office 1 week and out of office 3 weeks, or remote. With different groups, there was always someone in the office. However, they all rotated weeks they were in office. Therefore, my group that I worked for was only in office a select few weeks out of my internship. Therefore, my only gripe is that it would've been nice to be able to take advantage of that hybrid work schedule as well as us interns were expected to be in the office on-site throughout the duration of the internship.

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.
