Pros

First impression everyone is friendly. Taking on responsibilities and facing clients from day 2 Lots of interaction with manager and other staff

Cons

Not many graduates, I'm one of 3 other graduates working, all different departments...can be daunting, probably get better with time

Pros

Pay was good. Benefits were good. Friday BBQs were good.

Cons

Safety is touted highly, but not taken seriously (e.g. hazard studies show a particular task to be too dangerous to execute gets over-ridden by management because they need the task completed). Direction changes too often to accomplish anything. This doesn't work well in an R&D environment. Middle management could be better. They don't make any decision and simply relay direction from upper management.
