Pros

Exciting and challenging work. Good technical support (at times)( true engineering work is being done here. strong safety culture.

Cons

Short staffed. Lack of work life balance. Reinforces and awards the hero complex for engineers vs building sustainable systems. Pay is not competitive unless the job is in Texas.

Pros

Great people Great opportunities Willing to give more responsibility/grow Good work life balance while also still having good drive at work

Cons

Not a lot of cons, everyone is very understanding and the small office could be a downside for resources, but personally did not find that to be an issue
