Pros

- Good work / life balance - Friendly people - Great pension plan

Cons

- Overly complicated processes -- like working on an assembly line -- getting things done takes forever because you need to go through 20 different specialist teams/departments -- made even worse by outsourcing more and more processes to external providers - A lot of unmotivated people that do the bare minimum to stay employed tends to be discouraging and frustrating to those who do want to do a good job

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.
