Pros

Absolutely one of the best benefits packages, not just in the energy sector, but overall. By far one of the best 401(k) programs - especially the company contribution after 9 years of service. In addition, still has a traditional pension program.

Cons

Globalization of the company has offshored a lot of the work impacting jobs of employees in "high cost zones (e.g. USA, UK, The Netherlands). The jobs have moved to low cost zones such as Malaysia, India, The Philippines, Brazil, etc.

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.
