Pros

Pay, benefits, opportunities, and training are top notch. There are good people who are mostly easy to work with and always willing to help. Corporate culture is definitely preferable to the Exxon types.

Cons

Company feels even bigger than it is...change happens slowly, every decision required full consensus (achieved through 4+ meetings) and there are layers upon layers of bureaucracy.

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.
