Pros

Lots of good training. Excellent presentations on multiple technical projects. Lots of diverse projects to get involved in.

Cons

Being seen in best political light is very important. Company is not always fair in handling promotions / layoffs. Good work, performance are not always rewarded; politics are more important. Probably a good place to stay for a few years before moving on, for most people. Too big and impersonal.

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.
