Pros

Good benefits Focus on fair treatment of people Flexible working arrangements (if not in Manufacturing)

Cons

Long working hrs especially in global roles Many VP level and up leaders have very poor people management skills. They got to where they are for IQ not EQ. Even with bottom quartile team leader skills in the employee satisfaction survey they stay where they are or get promoted.

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.
