Pros

Good Salary, benefits and work life balance so far. However things may change.

Cons

Not many interesting things to do and sometimes you may feel you are at the end of your techincal career. The system will not let you take and execute fast decisions even if you are 100% right since everybody, even the people that is not involved in the project, has to participate. This only causes delays.

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.
