Pros

Benefits are good assuming you can last the full 30 years.

Cons

If you’re on a team that has a bad manager then it is very frustrating and limiting both from a career development standpoint, a work life balance standpoint, and visibility standpoint (need to constantly show off what you’re doing and make it sound important and impactful)

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.
