Pros

Decent benefits, good pay, every other Friday off. If you are lazy, you can pretty much do nothing and still get paid and you won't ever get fired.

Cons

Management takes forever to make a decision. You're just a number, they don't care about people. Poor leadership from the top down. Managers manage up and only care about making themselves look good. No security or stability because the company wants you to move every four years.

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.
