Pros

None, except salary and benefits.

Cons

Their philosophy of "I Care" is a fallacy. Not committed to the safety and well-being of employees. Corporation is too large of a beast. When bad times hit and employees do not have the right support, management just throws them "under the bus" and blames them.

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.
