Pros

Salary and benefits are good. Cost of benefits aren’t special and a little on the high side.

Cons

Driven by capital work. Everything contracted out and contractors dictate the terms to the company. Culture is one of fear and siloed. No one wants to own anything for fear of reprisals if wrong. If you’re fortunate to be on the in crowd you’ll do fine. If you can’t play office politics you won’t go anywhere. Capital spend is drying up and management is already talking budget cuts and layoffs. Age discrimination is rampant. There are no mangers over 50. Thank god I have only few years until retirement.
