Pros

Job security if you can put up with all of the bureaucracy. I have to write more words for this review to be accepted

Cons

You get crapped on, every single day, by weak and ineffective management. The safety culture is insulting to anyone with half a brain

Pros

- Great learning opportunity - get to work with some of the most knowledgeable, hard working, smart, and well rounded individuals - Learn top of the industry engineering skills and fundamentals - Strong emphasis on data backed decision making

Cons

- Extremely political, differentiation between high performers is typically more about how well you've advertised yourself and what aliances you've made as opposed to your actual contributions - Very resistant to change, everything is essentially already mapped out for you - Too rigid of a work environment with little room for individuality or new ways of approaching old problems
