Pros

There were many very good people to work with. I never had any real problems with my managers. Work/life balance was quite good.

Cons

They aspire to be the best employer in the oil services sector, but I don't think that will happen soon. Career progression was quite limited. Recently, working from home has become a no-no, which is un-enlightened of the company.

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.
