Pros

There are many opportunities to work in different functions and locations and if you network and produce results you can have a great career. Many interesting and nice colleagues

Cons

It is a giant and the decision making process is very slow. Promotion is often political so networks are important. Many jobs are very internally focussed and not very transferable to other non large corporates

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.
