Pros

Some career progression is generally possible if you earn and fight for it. Pay mostly reflects market value, maybe a little behind. Can gain transferable skills. There are lots of great people that work here. Benefits are good for families. Roles are mostly stable, but does depend on economics.

Cons

Some groups are disorganized and ineffective. Some people are vulgar and unprofessional. My experience is that high-value workers have to shop around outside the company before their groups respond to pay increase requests. Some subgroups are assessed and funded as part of a whole, regardless of that group's independent profitability. For our group, this has been a negative thing on occasion--Does not really reward diligent performance.

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.
