Pros

Really great experience, worked with some incredible people and learned a lot.

Cons

Difficult work-life balance. It isn't for everyone. If you can handle the long hours and time away from home, it's a good job to get your foot in the door in the industry. But it can take a lot out of you so be careful to not get burned out.

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.
