Pros

When times are good, there is opportunity to grow as an engineer or branch into project management. Good people to work with. Supervisors care. Excellent pay.

Cons

Oil and gas industry is very slow right now. Going through downturn in personnel. When work is tight, the company puts priority on making money versus maybe earning less profit in order to win a project and keep people.

Pros

Hi visibility projects. Rewarding experiences Competitive Pay

Cons

Sub-bar Project Management team. Condescending at times. Entitled. Sense of superiority. Confusing Hierarchical Structure and chain of reporting. Two managers. Administrative Organizational Unit Manager and a project manager. You report to both. Not flexible at the implementation of latest and most robust design software. Extremely cautious about the implementation of AI, sacrificing productivity and cutting edge competitiveness. Extreme focus on employees training on the companies policies and procedures, but not on the technical development of employees. Do not internally promote, rather they hire from outside for vacant higher positions. Remote workers are considered second class citizens. Not equal to those who work from the office, despite their credentials and pedigrees.
