Pros

- high quality working environment & equipment - nice people mostly at lower hierarchy levels

Cons

Highly political from mid-management upwards with some interesting "circles of trust" that protect the wrong people, creating a toxic environment of dishonesty, behind the back talking and finger-pointing when mistakes happen.

Pros

Great exposure to real plant operations and how engineering work impacts reliability, quality, and downtime. Hands-on troubleshooting opportunities—good place to build structured problem-solving skills. Strong process documentation environment (P&IDs/SOPs/LOTO), which helps you learn disciplined engineering practices. Projects feel practical and meaningful, not just “intern work.”

Cons

Learning curve: There’s a lot to learn early on (systems, standards, plant terminology), so the first few weeks can feel information-heavy.
