Pros

You can find a friendly work environment and cosy workspace. They pay higher salaries compared with the other energy companies.

Cons

The Company is the centre of favouritism. All the managers often share kudos, congratulations and positive feedback. But don't trust the feedback in the company because people, especially managers, stab you in the back. They always say "Hard work and dedication are not key to success in the company".

Pros

There are many diverse roles and opportunities within the company, which can make it easier to explore different career paths and avoid feeling stuck or bored.

Cons

Company lacks clear direction and has significant internal disorganization. Employees are often expected to take on multiple roles without appropriate compensation or support. Despite consistently being a high performer, I left feeling undervalued — after covering two roles, there wasn’t even a simple thank you upon departure. To make matters worse, eight months after leaving, they are now claiming I owe over $5,000 in PTO that had previously been considered settled at the time of my exit. Overall, the experience left a very negative impression and highlighted serious internal process issues.
