Pros

So many talented people in one place, lots of experienced folks to learn from, many opportunities to travel/work abroad that would not be available to you in a smaller company.

Cons

Very big, very structured, and very hierarchical. Not quite a meritocracy. Little is done to foster an environment of personal ownership of your work.

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.
