Pros

The work-life balance within the department I was employed was exceptional. My direct manager recognized my personal situation and worked with me to find a schedule that would fit both of our needs. There were ample opportunities for personal and professional growth, salary and benefits were above average.

Cons

Management was always very slow to make a decision and wouldn't always hold steadfast down a path that they preached about. As for climbing the corporate ladder, it was nearly impossible to move up in the company, regardless of how hard you worked.

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.
