Pros

Flexible work schedules. Great colleagues.

Cons

Too bureaucratic to unlock maximum value. Lost focus on world-class oil and gas projects. Too much focus on corporate wokeness and DEI. Bonus structure doesn't reflect your contribution and does not motivate. No inflation adjustment on salaries. Salaries used to be competitive with the industry but are now falling behind. The new CEO in 2023 may turn things around.

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.
