Pros

- Great safety culture - Great Mobility opportunities - Good Opportunities for advancement - For Entry Level Engineers, it is a great way to move up the Ladder fast.

Cons

- Because it's such a big company, bureaucracy is rampant, and it takes too long for decisions to get implemented - Very little transparency between Senior Management and its field population.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
