Pros

Decent fortune 500 corporation, it's ok if you are inexperienced, entry level. It's ok if you know how to maximize your white advantage. It's ok if you have a relative in the upper ranks.

Cons

If you are a non-white minority, you are possibly going nowhere in the long run. Run by good ol' boy network at the top. Succession is reserved for executive offsprings.

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.
