Pros

Great people, good opportunites to learn about the oil industry. Good training programs on oilfield basics. Also there are many locations in the Houston area so it is easy to find a location that is close to where you live. Halliburton has been good at providing employee recognition in the past, but since January, that has slowly fallen off.

Cons

Politics when it comes to career advancement. Requirements that are placed on some do not apply to all when "friends" are helping one another. Also when changes are made, lately, there is little communication or team buy-in. It has slowly started to errode morale.

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.
