Pros

Good work culture, competitive pay, decent work life balance in most teams. unlimited sick leaves, Paid trainings provided, udemy/linkedIn learning subscription.

Cons

Limited or very less technical growth because most application are old. Business not interested in upgrading things until its out of support. Non technical roles like Business Analyst has more value then a technically sound person. They push technical people to take BA responsibilities. Dual management structure, you will have two manager - 1. Project Delivery Manager and 2. Resource manager. Many times both are not aligned together.

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.
