Pros

Tons of opportunity for career growth, development, and networking on a local and global level. Many workers are smart, competent, professional, and willing to help new workers. Good compensation, benefits, and pay. Office environment and safety culture are very strong and positive, and it really make you feel more of an individual versus another employee in a big company. Work-life balance is promoted and encouraged.

Cons

There are times that the life portion in your work-life balance is expected to be sacrificed in order to deliver, especially at high level positions. IT services are atrocious. Red tape and bureaucracy can be much at times, especially when certain policies, processes, and philosophies are introduced or promoted with the hopes of conformity to new employers and people new to leadership roles.

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.
