Pros

In my experience at Halliburton, there are few things I'd consider to be "Pros." In fact, the only "Pro" that comes to mind is that I can now mention the company in my resume.

Cons

Not a good place for young engineers to gain experience. Yes, the pay is decent, and yes, it is good to put on a resume, BUT you will leave with very little applicable job experience, which may limit your potential future earnings.

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.
