Pros

The experience and training are the best in the Oil and Gas industry. The small perks like a company vehicle, laptop and cell phone are great also. The medical insurance is the best and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and 401K matching is the best I've seen. There is a great career plan and you can move up if you are the career driven type.

Cons

Very long hours and no personal and family life. If you work in the field you will have an unhealthy lifestyle because of long hours, very little sleep and no time for exercise. The pay is low compared to other companies in the industry.

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.
