Pros

1. Learn processes 2. Good pay 3. Very employee caring company 4. Lot of business learning

Cons

1. No work from home 😢 2. Expected to work 8.30 hours officially, though they say we can be flexible. But officially it is NOT. 3. No on-site allowances to make extra savings (you end up spending if on-site trip happens - of course on personal stuff but then on-site becomes non lucrative).

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.
