Pros

Training and people are the main benefits to a position related to this job title. Leadership is ok depending on who your boss is

Cons

No work life balance, salary is far less competitive than other companies within the same role, irregular work shift, exposure to the elements year round. None of my co workers at the time enjoyed their job, was very difficult to move to a new position for at least two and a half years. They lock you in with the "bonuses" they give you with the threat of paying them back if you leave within two years. Also you'll most likely have to work out of a small town in the middle of nowhere,

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.
