Pros

* great W/L balance * great hourly pay * global exposure and international opportunities * great office culture

Cons

* international opportunities have to be extracted from backward thinking indian management * growth is often linked to tenure (esp in India); too much power in the hands of line managers ensures that your growth potential is limited * unhealthy working environment in teams with 100% indian management * India locations are still foster children of the larger shell org

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.
