-Every department seems to be running LEAN (aka not enough people to do the work). Expect to wear multiple hats. -Lack of prioritization. Sometimes it may feel like everything needs to be done now and there's no time to breathe. -In E&C department, you will likely be micromanaged (micromanagement can be extreme especially when there's tight deadline to be met) -HIGH turnover, primarily for 2 reasons: 1)existing employees are underpaid compared to market and can easily find new opportunities somewhere else paying top dollars. 2) people that remain with the company are forced to take on more work with work/life balance further deteriorating. These 2 factors create a vicious cycle. -Project development and construction phases are rushed to meet investors expectations at the detriment of quality, safety and operational excellence. Equipment failures, not doing all due diligence, near misses are common. -Management acts and talks like they have solutions, knows what to do, but it's all a farce. -Did I mention irrelevant training to your role you are forced to take in E&C? -Did I mention the draconian bi-annual employee performance review you will have to go through?
