Pros

World class projects and systems

Cons

An employee is a commodity which should not question or suggest an improvement. HR is useless to the extent they can’t change any shortcomings. The office has large number of negative people who did not manage to change their careers or move on which turned them into zombies. The atmosphere is toxic and really harming to mental health.

Pros

Working at a top tier company Some opportunity for travel to major project sites Teaches you discipline Friendly staff If you make good connections you can transfer to other teams

Cons

You are pretty disconnected from the rest of the company as the government affairs team is quite small. Not much freedom, and there can be a lot of downtime.
