Pros

The people are great. I was there for 15 years and loved it until the return to work mandate.

Cons

For global company, one would think they would allow someone who manages a global team and was responsible for a 24/7 hotline to work flexible hours. When they mandated a return to work, I was informed that I had to work core hours in the office from 8-4 Monday through Friday. This would be fine for someone who just works during the day. As a global manager, in order to do my job, I worked on average 3 hours after core working orders as well as weekends. How else can you provide superior customer service across the globe. I offered to work everyday from 8-1 and then the afternoon and evenings I would do the rest of my work from home and they refused. Upper management was completely unreasonable which is why I immediately severed service.

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.
