Pros

lots of training, people are nice, lots of opportunities

Cons

internal software is frustrating, company is too big to make improvements and senior people say they support you and go talk to X, Y, and Z. Then X, Y, and Z will say "that's a good idea, it's important, I understand, but it's low priority". Even if it can save them millions.

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.
