Pros

If you work you way up, there's hope, otherwise you are stuck in the field where you are accountable for almost everything that goes wrong! If you happen to have good co-workers, thing work out much better. If operators and engineers work together, they can ease the job they perform. Engineers are given a lot of responsability: expensive equipment, crew management, reporting, customer relationships, etc. So there is a lot the engineers have to look at for.

Cons

Due to this business nature, there is too much stress involved. Management is not always the best at dealing with people.

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.
