Pros

They give you a lot of responsibility. If you have a good boss, he will give you goals and objectives and allow you to use your own initiative to acheive them. They have some of the best people in the world.

Cons

They provide "social promotions" to some executives to give them experience in areas that they know nothing about. If your manager changes he is probably going to bring in people who support him unconditionally and change out the existing people who might challenge him.

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.
