Pros

Solid company that aspires to be in top quartile for its customers and its treatment of staff. Good benefits, lots of opportunities for training

Cons

Employee experience depends very much on which part of the organization you belong to. If you belong to any of the support organization like IT or HR then your days are numbered as they are on massive outsourcing drive. Culture is also defensive and its often not what you have done or contributed but how you have sucked up to senior management

Opportunities to work on high-impact projects, interact with senior leadership, and contribute to decisions affecting major assets and infrastructure.

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.
