Pros

Job security especially in a volatile market. It's nice not wondering if you'll still have a job on Monday. The benefits are awesome and the pay is fair. Halliburton has the best training programs in the oil field and they give their employees ample opportunities to continue their training and expand their knowledge about oilfield services.

Cons

Long hours. The pay could be more competitive. Halliburton has a bad reputation from the media so many people look down on employees of big red. As with any oil field service company, our high times and low times are controlled by the market and sometimes we get blamed for high energy prices when in fact Halliburton has no control over the market.

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.
