Pros

Lots of good training. Excellent presentations on multiple technical projects. Lots of diverse projects to get involved in.

Cons

Being seen in best political light is very important. Company is not always fair in handling promotions / layoffs. Good work, performance are not always rewarded; politics are more important. Probably a good place to stay for a few years before moving on, for most people. Too big and impersonal.

Pros

People are friendly and very helpful, very good technical knowledge and history of pipelines. Excellent team work and cooperation of fellow coworkers.

Cons

It is a European company and there is a big mistrust between how things are supposed to be done (European way) and differences in North America
