Pros

Salary and benefits are on par with the industry. Some great technical experts. Safety culture is really strong if that is important to your job.

Cons

So much focus on internal systems that your head will spin. They are all unnecessary roadblocks to successful client service, but are likely the pet project of some executive so we all have to comply. This company can't get out if it's own way and things are getting worse all the time. No support, loads of silly requirements. No client focus.

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
