Pros

Bright, kind, international colleagues trying to solve some of the world's hardest problems. Great London headquarters office location. Good pay and bonus, pension and healthcare, annual leave and parental leave policies. Great support for healthy work life balance. Made a lot of friends with wonderful people!

Cons

Since the pandemic and the 'Reshape' restructuring project announced in 2020, the company leadership and culture really changed -- what used to be a supportive culture became a toxic one, where the senior leadership seemed more interested in preserving their own salary grades than creating a really customer-centric business that would thrive in the energy transition.

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.
