Pros

Talented coworkers. Salary and benefits are decent. Training is available when needed. CEO is good and Canadian. International company if want to work overseas.

Cons

Relationship based company. How you are ranked is based upon who you know. Too much management. Recent layoffs did not eliminate any management just employees doing the work. The way employees are treated during the layoffs is poor and mor process is fake. Constant organizational change and not sure why is needed.

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.
