Pros

4 years window assignments, so staffs can rotate and compete for new jobs and possibly promotions. Vast resources of very smart people albeit academically. Still on high gear for continuous improvement.

Cons

HR are never useful. Lack of compassion and agility. Management are full of charade to survive. Not so great performance review process and constantly reorganising that appears like a headless chicken. Silly cost cutting exercises instead of tackling the problem given the vast smart people at disposal to be creative.

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.
