Pros

Wide scope of operations (geographically and industry wise) Great atmosphere to work Opportunities to develop different skills in different jobs. Culturally and country diverse. There are great efforts to ensure everybody feels integrated.

Cons

Job security and stability. Every 3-4 years need to find a role within organisation and sometimes the process can be a bit messy. Lack of structured approach to manage staff career creates an excessive dependency on networking (which might be a challenge for some employees).

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.
