Pros

Excellent learning opportunity in your chosen field, given that they have a "sink or swim" environment and 70 hour work week expectations.

Cons

Although they preach that "Employees are our biggest asset", that is clearly not the case. Management (with the exception of an elite few) uses you like a sponge and has no qualms about throwing you away.

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.
