Pros

There is very little overtime and the flexiblity for taking time off (both planned and unplanned) is great. You have basically unlimited sick time and a great environment if you want to start a new family and spend more time with your kids. Daycare on site.

Cons

The starting pay is lower than other companies with the same position and while the preformance reviews give you an okay annual increase, even with a promotion I have been hard pressed to meet the median salary offered at other companies.

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.
