Pros

Very good work environment. Co workers are very helpful. The benefits and compensation are average compared to other oil service companies. I feel very comfortable here at Halliburton and not scared of there employees. The people here are very socialable and easy to be friend with. Lots of anniversay and birthday parties held here, which allow the employees to get to know each other. As a co-op here they are very flexible with your hours as long as you can put in atleast 20 hours each week. They allow you to take as much time off as needed to keep up with your school work.

Cons

pay is not very good compared to other companies. As a co-op they do not pay you as well as other oil service companies do. They sometimes make you do busy work and non engineering things. I learned a lot here at Halliburton but not as much as I expected to learn from work. Not a lot of hands on work, do a lot of work at your cubical at your own pace. There are no raises for co-op who either return each semester or change academic status such as from a sophmore to a junior like other oil service companies do.

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.
