Pros

Multiple business domains opening up in this decade beyond Oil & Gas. Oil & Gas also going through a major revamp with the decarbonisation journey. Flexibility to propose new projects and pursue them with open R&D budgets. Lots of potential to collaborate internationally, with academic partners, and external companies.

Cons

Fundamental R&D's impact is subdued due to commercial and political reasons.

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.
