Pros

1) flexible working hours 2) depending on manager of course but mostly no pressure in a normalized regime of work (not considering handovers, additional projects etc) > id that is what you are looking for 3) legalistic support for foreigners (work permit, temporary residence card etc) 4) standard medical insurance, multisport card

Cons

1) you`re asking for salary only at the staring point - then even after promotion only % change that always will be lower (about 80%) than offer to external candidate 2) a lot of corpo language - almost no direct and honest talks - a lot of feedback on feedbacks, not admitting real issues etc 3) main aim - to take out of you the best you know but not developing your skills (not `up or out` approach but sitting and doing something for years if you`re ok with that), consequently see point 1 - you`re asking money only for your best at admission point 4) everything depends on your manager and his/her personality/features of character. if your manager not fine with your development prospects - almost no chance you will grow but covered with `corpo language` facade (see p. 2)

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.
