Big company, good work-life balance, good compensation, good training program, and good projects if you are in the right team

The major problem in oil & gas industry: everything goes well if the oil price is high and everyone chooses to do more politics if the oil price is low.

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.
