      Pros

      Good work life balance Good culture but very dependent on location/team

      Cons

      Benefits are only ok Retirement contributions aren't what they used to. Company really trying to reduce its financial liabilities Overly bureaucratic and process driven, and relationship based. If you don't have an in with GM/VP/EVP, your career will stagnate.

      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.
