      Pros

      Environment of safety, diversity, good place for developing a commercial mindset.

      Cons

      1. Not a good place for technically inclined. Hardly has a Software engineering culture. 2. Work culture is inconsistent. You may experience product side of the company and tomorrow you may feel like you're in a service based company. Depends on the manager. 3. Frequent reorganization, happens every 15 months on average and takes 6 months to finish. 4. Salaries are not competitive. It doesn't matter if you have niche skills, you're always paid the same salary irrespective of the skill level leading to attrition of top talents. 5. Outdated promotion mechanism. 6. Slow decision making.

      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.
