Pros

-Above average remuneration due to the bonus payout, hourly rate for overtime is attractive -Good training ground for employees to work for other companies

Cons

-Ops are suffering heavier workload with recent policies that make it worse. Fatigue after work is getting more and more common and frequent overtime can take a toll on health. -Rewards are pathetic for Ops, even stopped giving out groceries voucher which was a norm some time back -Work life balance is not possible in operations due to the shift system. The 8 hour shift pattern makes it worse as the arrangement is such that regular weekend off occurs every four months or so. -No company transport arrangements after hours and expect employees to have their own arrangements. One options for those who don't drive or ride is a costly cab ride with 50% surcharge. Having company transport for shift staff is common among companies and I wondered why there isn't any especially more and more trainees are entering the company. -Very competitive environment, some got promoted due to their eloquence rather than the skills and having the leadership qualities. - Have to spend additional commuting time due to its location

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.
