Pros

Very good formal training for engineers. Good internship program. Very rigorous and good development program for graduates. Excellent work life balance. Highly competitive work amongst co-workers yet the working culture takes the stress out.

Cons

Uncompetitive bonus against other companies in the industry. Perhaps this is due to its uncertain financials resulting from the spill. Poor knowledge management system. Finding information is like looking for a needle in a haystack unless you are used to it. Process process process...it is highly complex and can stress someone out. It's complex process can become its own downfall. Not an encouraging company for mid level employees, too much emphasis on graduates and interns.

Pros

Supportive team environment with good learning opportunities and exposure to large-scale projects. Compensation and benefits are competitive, and the company offers strong brand recognition and career development resources.

Cons

Decision-making can be slow due to layers of management, and processes sometimes feel overly bureaucratic. Workload and priorities can shift quickly, which may create stress depending on the team.
