Pros

Large programmes with enough complexity to be challenging Many good people from various organisations. Truly global company, with people from all over the world and all sorts of culture. High standards and values, pleasure to work.

Cons

The large complexity often leads to suboptimal choices, which need realignment later. This leads to situations where direction is being changed often. Its always 3 steps forward and one or two steps backward.

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.
