Pros

Base salary is great. Bonus competitive amongst the majors. Typically care about employees quite well. If you work in smaller teams, the experience is really rewarding both in relationships and accomplishments.

Cons

Unfortunately they give too much of the industry expected production engineering roles and responsibilities to a separate "wells" function. You don't get rig responsibilities at all so you get a neutered experience which makes you less competitive within the industry.

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.
