Pros

Outstanding co-workers who are always willing to help and teach you. Challenging intern projects that have real value and will make you a better engineer. Large company with many different career opportunities. Many locations and positions allow you to choose where you want your career to take you. Industry leading safety culture. If the job cannot be done safely, it will not be done at all.

Cons

Large company sometimes lacks the personal touch. There is a focus on checking off items on a worklist, not on doing the job well. The 2 year job rotations does not hold engineers accountable if their solution fails drastically 5 years later. Pattern of promoting 2-4 year engineers into management roles, creates leaders who sometimes lack the technical chops needed for their role. Lots of time is spent progressing tasks through the systems.

Pros

Good pay and a pension

Cons

Everything else. Benefits are lackluster, Flex Your Day policies are elusive. The company changes everything all the time so that a large portion of your time is spent finding new links to things on the portal, figuring out who to contact in various departments and in what country just to get a simple answer to a question. No one stays in the same role long enough to get good at their job. Morale is terrible.
