Pros

Quite good salary and benefits, lot of job opportunities, generally good support for pursuing personal development/skills outside of your own exsisting skill pool

Cons

Complex, bureucratic, lot of talk and little action, conflicting internal drivers, opaque and random performance measurement system (each employee given a score that adds to average of 1, i.e. if I do well someone else has to do worse), disconnect between the actual value of the work done and compensation, too many managers and too little alignment amongst them

Pros

Early career engineers are given significant ownership and exposure to complex operational challenges. Strong focus on safety, technical development, and collaboration across disciplines. Opportunities to work on high-impact projects, interact with senior leadership, and contribute to decisions affecting major assets and infrastructure.

Cons

Workloads can be demanding, and priorities can shift quickly based on operational needs. Decision-making processes can be slow due to organizational complexity, and geographic mobility may be necessary for certain career opportunities.
