Pros

One of, if not, the best place for an engineer to start in the oil and gas industry. Tons of training enable you to really grasp the concepts of the work you are performing. Safety culture is one of the best in the industry.

Cons

Lots of time away from home. Lots of driving. When the industry is struggling the feeling of job security goes way 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.
