Pros

It has a myriad of businesses where you can learn. It also has pockets of competent managers that make the jobs interesting and meaningful. The pay is also good.

Cons

Working of projects, I felt that a lot of the things we were doing were inconsequential, almost meaningless. Some folks are far more interested in keeping their jobs and preserving the status quo rather than doing valuable work. The culture is very male, very white, and if you are not golfing with the inner circle, you will not move upwards anytime soon.

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.
