Engaging work overshadowed by layoffs and limited growth

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.

Pros

Strong global brand with international career opportunities. Good compensation package including bonus and stock benefits. Exposure to large-scale technical and industrial projects. Talented colleagues with strong engineering and domain expertise. Stable company with structured processes and mature organization. Good learning opportunities for technical and business skills. Interesting problems at the intersection of data, energy, and operations.

Cons

Decision-making can sometimes be slow due to company size. Processes may feel heavy or bureaucratic at times. Career progression can vary depending on team and manager. Some roles may have limited visibility outside the immediate business unit. Innovation speed can be slower than in smaller tech companies. Internal mobility may require patience and strong networking.
