Pros

Competitive pay and emphasis on employee safety (especially the assistance provided during natural disasters which includes housing assistance, check-ins with managers, etc.).

Cons

Work/life balance depends on manager (mine is positive experience, but others not as much), international opportunities not as prevalent in downstream.

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.
