Pros

Pay is very good compared to the complexity of the job(s). People here seem to be more relaxed than other fortune 500's.

Cons

Can be dangerous at times. Even if you do your job right people can get seriously injured and worse. Job security is no longer a reality regardless of seniorty or position. Lots of creepy stuff.

Pros

This is a great place to start and grow your career, especially as an MT, with tons of opportunities to take on projects and explore what interests you. Leadership at every level is genuinely supportive and approachable, and people across the company are always willing to teach, mentor, and help you succeed. Compensation and benefits are competitive, and the Business Resource Groups really add to the sense of community and development.

Cons

There are so many opportunities that it can sometimes feel a little overwhelming figuring out what path to focus on. Balancing day-to-day work with all the development options can be a bit challenging depending on your role and workload.

Pros

Great culture since the bnsf|tech restructure Interesting work and ability to move across the org Great manager (at least for me) Work life balance is great

Cons

Can get unorganized from time to time as the companies tries new things Some pretty egregious ways of doing things due to the old tech debt left before the reorg but slowly getting better Slow-moving for pretty much everything
