Pros

Very supportive teams, great benefits, great work-life balance, alot of room to learn and grow. In the second of three placements, you get to do a broadening placement (a placement in a field unrelated to the one in which you were employed), thus allowing you to learn even more about the company.

Cons

Could be a pro as well as a con: size of the company. Its huge so it'll take some time getting used to.

Pros

Strong commitment to sustainability and the clean energy transition. Exposure to large scale infrastructure and operation projects. Very supportive and learning culture with loads of training and mentorship. Collaborative and diverse workforce. Good opportunity for graduates and early careers development.

Cons

Graduate rotations and placements are broad, so you may not always get your first choice project, however whichever project you get which would be your second or third choice comes with its own learning opportunities and development. Projects can be long term so your work may not feel immediately visible.
