Pros

Used to be a great company, but between the market downturn and the executive committee's poor decisions, it is no longer. Pay is ok compared to other industries, but low for Oil & Gas.

Cons

Trickling out lay-offs month after month after month leaves everyone only worried about their jobs. It has become a back-stabing viper's den. Our brilliant CEO decided to buy a huge competitor for a huge premium 2 months before the biggest downturn in history. Great forecasting. Now we'll have twice the workforce force to do half the work, and they'll wonder why profits are down.

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.
