Pros

The money is good. Period.

Cons

Excessively long hours. Low hourly wage but with over 100 hours per week, it adds up. As part of the new hire training, the camp manager comes in to tell you that you're all replaceable. No value placed on the people on the ground floor doing the work at all. No appreciation shown for being away from your families 18+ hours per day. No sense of security working there, people get fired for incidents that could be handled in other ways. When you start getting any seniority this is especially true. They don't like to have people that have over 10 years there.

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.
