Pros

Flexible work hours are permitted due to remote suburban office location causing many employees to van pool. Overtime is not excessive. Casual dress code is allowed. Gym and day care are available on site.

Cons

No official support for telecommuting or 9/80 work schedules. Benefits, including vacation and paid holidays, are not competitive in marketplace. Employees are encouraged to pend their weekends volunteering to make the company look good. Very limited opportunities for outside training to keep skills current.

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.
