Pros

Good pay, generally a good culture and atmosphere. Employee safety is very important

Cons

Management is disorganized structurally. Holes in the structure are allowed to exist. HR has too much power. Little to no training, except for new grads. It's all about who you know, not what you know. Many management decisions have been made to raise cost of production, so layoffs now.

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.
