Pros

Great pay for a civil engineer that can't be beat working for traditional civil engineering companies. Good work/life balance (most people get into the office by around 8am, and the parking garage is cleared out by 5pm). Good flexibility in working remotely if needed for doctor appointments, etc. Great networking opportunities within the company and you can have fun playing the corporate "game." You get a new position every 2-3 years so never get pigeon holed into doing only 1 thing.

Cons

Everybody in my group quit (a trend these days), so my hours have been closer to 12+ hr days. Honestly I'm just not passionate about oil and gas. The pay can't be beat if you're a civil engineer, which is why I decided to give the job a chance. I'm actively looking for jobs elsewhere now because I can't scratch the itch for wanting to work on a civil infrastructure or building construction project (the reason I chose to get my degree in civil engineering).

Pros

Good pay and a pension

Cons

Everything else. Benefits are lackluster, Flex Your Day policies are elusive. The company changes everything all the time so that a large portion of your time is spent finding new links to things on the portal, figuring out who to contact in various departments and in what country just to get a simple answer to a question. No one stays in the same role long enough to get good at their job. Morale is terrible.
