Pros

You have an opportunity to interact with people from all over the world. People with amazing knowledge and history on the company. At least you did until they started replacing all of them with contractors in India.

Cons

When I first started with the company they appeared to be all about their employees and really care. They had Christmas Parties; Summer Family Picnics etc. Over the years as upper management changed all of that went away and consulting company moved in and we slowly saw jobs moved offshore and more and more U.S. employees laid off. So much knowledge sent out the door just to save a buck which unfortunately is what a lot of big companies are all about.

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.
