Pros

I worked for Halliburton for a long time and enjoyed most of it.

Cons

Little family life, Through God's grace and a wonderful wife we managed to keep the family together. I left recently because the smaller PSL VP's are finger puppets to the pumping PSL's and it is progressively getting worse. I did not like the change I saw coming and rather than cry about it I found another job. Very political at corporate level. Procurement department has ZERO since of where their paycheck comes from. Totally detached from the field and the urgency of parts needed to do work. Always an excuse as to why something is not available.

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.
