As Ops - Decisions made are painfully slow and are not consistent at different levels - Promotions requires Written Test, Oral Test and even Simulated Test ( Singapore only!!! There's no guarantee you will pass) - Rewards are pathetic for Ops (as good as none) - Cost cutting are always on OPs level, Corporate spend like mad

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.
